Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) inhibits prostaglandin-F2 alpha-induced activity of the rabbit myometrium
Prostaglandins.

Abstract
Seven female rabbits ahd myometrial autografts transplanted into ear-chambers. The electrical activity of the graft was recorded and mechanical activity observed. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) dose-dependently inhibited myometrial activity induced by prostaglandin-F2 alpha. This evidence and the occurrence of "VIPergic" nerve fibres, which seem to innervate the myometrial cells, suggest that VIP may play a physiological role in the local control of the myometrial activity.
