Abstract
Placentae were obtained at delivery in 14 pregnancies complicated by postma turity (gestational age greater than or equal to 40 weeks and 10 days) and in 23 uncomplicated pregnancies (gestational age < 40 weeks). The incidence of apoptotic nuclei was significantly greater in the placentae from the po stmature pregnancies.
