Preterm labor is an urgent medical-social and demographic issue at the present stage. A considerable number of factors affects the course of pregnancy and its outcome, their effect is realized at the level of the central nervous system through numerical metabolic interactions, where monoaminergic systems play an important role. Objective - to study the features of the sympathoadrenal system state by determining the excretion level of DOPHA, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine in women's daily urine with different periods of abortion. 227 pregnant women who were admitted to the Kharkiv perinatal center have been examined, 190 of them had clinical signs of premature delivery in the gestation period of 23-36 weeks. Formation of clinical groups was carried out depending on the pregnancy term in the form of premature and timely delivery. Diagnosis of preterm labor was carried out in the presence of abdominal pain syndrome and structural changes in the cervix. Consequently, pregnancy compensatory and adaptive mechanisms are complex of neurohumoral process, which are realized through monoaminergic systems and a significant factor in its interruption is their destabilization. Reducing of sympathoadrenal system activity and reserve capacity in pregnant women may be a pathogenetic factor in the development of preterm labor. Therefore determination of the imbalance initial manifestations in the catecholamines exchange may possibly prevent the loss of pregnancy in the early stages.

Hormonal Regulation

Hormones regulate a significant portion of digestion through activation of the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system of digestion contains many different hormones all with multiple functions that are both, directly and indirectly, involved in digestion.
Hormonal Regulation01:33

Hormonal Regulation

The renin-aldosterone system is an endocrine system which guides the renal absorption of water and electrolytes, thus managing blood pressure and osmoregulation. Activation of the system begins in the kidneys with a small cluster of cells adjacent to the afferent and efferent blood vessels of the renal corpuscle. As the nephrons are filtering blood, juxtaglomerular cells monitor blood pressure. If they detect a decrease in pressure, they release the hormone renin into the bloodstream.
Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
Ovarian Cycle01:27

Ovarian Cycle

The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle length...
Secretory Phase01:19

Secretory Phase

The secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, spanning from day 14 to 28 in a typical 28-day cycle, is a period of significant physiological changes in the female reproductive system. This phase commences immediately after ovulation and is characterized by the preparation of the endometrium for potential embryo implantation.
Following ovulation, the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine structure, produces progesterone and estrogens. These hormones stimulate the growth and coiling of endometrial...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...
