Abstract
Cervical specimens were obtained by needle biopsy in connection with caesarean section at term pregnancy. The preparations were superfused in an organ chamber and contractions were registered isometrically. Prostaglandin (PG) E2 and F2α inhibited spontaneous contractions. The stimulatory action of noradrenaline was not influenced by PGF2α but was reduced by PGE2 whereas both PGs abolished the excitatory effect of oxytocin.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
