To assess the role of catechol estrogens in the initiation of labor, we compared the levels in amniotic fluid during the second and third trimesters and from women undergoing cesarean section at term not in labor and those with spontaneous labor at term. Catechol estrogen concentrations in amniotic fluid increased significantly with the progress of pregnancy. Further, concentrations (mean +/- SE) were significantly higher in spontaneous labor at term (468.6 +/- 29.5 pg/ml) compared with those obtained during cesarean section (242.6 +/- 22.3 pg/ml) at term not in labor. We suggest that catechol estrogens, through their stimulating effects on prostaglandin synthesis, participate in the initiation of labor.
