EPH-gestosis is accompanied by an extensive remodeling of the extracellular matrix of Wharton's jelly. The gelatinolytic and proteolytic activities were measured. A decrease in gelatinolityc activity and an increase in proteolytic activity in EPH-gestosis were observed. The decrease in gelatinase activity in EPH-gestosis may be one of factors involved in extracellular matrix rebuilding of Wharton's jelly.
