The aim of this study is to measure socioe-conomic inequality in maternal health care (MHC) utilization during pregnancy and delivery. The data were obtained from the last two rounds of the 1998 and 2013 Togo Demographic and Health Survey. Concentration index, concentration curve and logistic regression were used to measure and examine socio-economic inequality in antenatal care and facility-based deliveries. The concentration indices for antenatal visits and facility-based deliveries were 0.142 and 0.246 in 1998 and 0.129 and 0.159 in 2013, indicating inequality bias towards the rich in both. Household wealth status and women's education were the most significant contributors to inequality in antenatal visits and facility-based deliveries. In 2013, household economic status contributed approximately 75.66% of the inequality in facility-based delivnd reproductive education. Our results suggest that the use of MHC can be increased by broadening health insurance to include exemptions for poor and rural households.Fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are the main cellular source of fatty degeneration in muscle injury; however, the underlying mechanism of FAP adipogenesis in muscle degeneration needs to be further examined. Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP-14) has been reported to induce the adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, but whether MMP-14 also regulates the differentiation of FAPs remains unclear. To investigate whether and how MMP-14 regulates FAP adipogenesis and fatty infiltration in muscle degeneration, we examined MMP-14 expression in degenerative muscles and tested the effect of MMP-14 on FAP adipogenesis in vitro and in vivo. As expected, MMP-14 enhanced FAP adipogenesis and fatty infiltration in degenerative muscles; moreover, blocking endogenous
