Complete placentas and membranes were obtained from women after uncomplicated singleton pregnancies. Six were collected after labour at term, six after preterm labour and six after elective Caesarean section at term. Leukotriene C₄ (LTC₄), leukotriene D₄ (LTD₄) and leukotriene E₄ (LTE₄) release was examined using a short-term incubation technique. Release by amnion was significantly higher than that by the other tissues for the three modes of delivery. Comparison of LTC₄, LTD₄ and LTE₄ release by individual tissues with regard to the type of delivery showed no significant difference.
