Article Synopsis
- Researchers found that androgens, like DHT and testosterone, can relax myometrial muscle contractions, which is crucial for maintaining uterine quiescence during pregnancy.
- The study involved using a specific muscle cell line and human/mouse tissue samples to observe the effects of androgens on muscle contraction.
- Results indicated that these androgens significantly impaired muscle contractions and could be developed into potential treatments for preterm labor.
