Comparison of the effects of prostaglandins D2, F2alpha and E1 on spontaneous contractions of rabbit oviduct
Abstract
The effects of PGD2, PGF2alpha and PGE1 were studied on the circular muscle of post-ovulatory rabbit oviducts in vitro. PGE1 inhibited spontaneous contractile activity. Lower concentrations of PGD2 and PGF2alpha were stimulatory and higher concentrations were inhibitory. Since PGD2 may be produced in the oviduct, any hypothesis concerning the role of prostaglandins in the control of oviductal motility and ovum transport should include PGD2 as well as PGFs and PGEs.
