Objective: To verify the behaviour of sulphatides and arylsulphatase A in the decidua of women at term pregnancy. Methods: Sulphatide concentrations and enzyme activity were determined by means of spectrophotometric devices; thin-layer chromatography was also prepared to separate and visualize sulphatides and other lipid fractions. Results: The spectrophotometric values of sulphatides and arylsulphatase A were high in the decidua samples obtained from women at term pregnancy. Conclusions: The spectrophotometric values of the two parameters examined in the decidua of women at term pregnancy were high because of a persistent progestinic activity. © Copyright 2004, CIC Edizioni Internazionali, Rome.
