Abstract
Intrauterine pressure changes were monitored in 5 pregnant ewes, and uterine venous prostaglandin (PG) F concentrations were determined after distension of the vagina. Uterine contractility and utero-ovarian PGF concentrations were elevated by vaginal distension, and the magnitude of both effects increased as parturition approached.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
