    Abstract:
    Lipids represent one of the basic components of each cellular and subcellular membrane of the myometrium and their fluidity has a strong influence upon membrane function. Human myometrium was obtained at cesarean sections. Lipids were separated by one-dimensional thin layer chromatography. The chromatoplates were determined on the densitometer Shimadzu CS 930. Lipid profile of the myometrium was studied before the 37th week of pregnancy, at term without contractile activity, further during at term labor with normal contractile activity and at failure of myometrial contractility. Analysis of the obtained data showed changes in lipid fluidity, namely a decrease before the 37th week of pregnancy and at failure of myometrial contractions during at term labor. The decrease of fluidity was caused by a higher content of total cholesterol and a lower content of total phospholipids in the myometrium.
