Biochem/physiol Actions

Luteolytic prostaglandin that induces parturition. Potent vasoconstrictor of pulmonary, coronary, and cerebral arteriole beds. A positive feedback loop between endometrial PG F2α and luteal oxytocin is responsible for completion of luteolysis.
Luteolytic prostaglandin that induces parturition. Potent vasoconstrictor of pulmonary, coronary, and cerebral arteriole beds. Also stimulates contraction of smooth muscle, such as in bronchi, with possible involvement in asthma. This effect is at least partially mediated through tachykinin release.

To characterize the interactions between prostaglandin F2 alpha and prostacyclin in controlling tone in the pulmonary circulation, isolated rat lungs were ventilated, perfused with blood, and subjected to challenge by prostaglandin F2 alpha in increasing doses. The pulmonary resistance was

We examined the effects of extracellular Ca2+ withdrawal and of Ca2+ entry blockers on goat cerebrovascular responses to prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). We measured isometric tension in isolated middle cerebral arteries, and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in unanesthetized animals.

The oxytocin-neurophysin gene is expressed in several nontraditional sites within the endocrine system. In the ovary its expression in the corpora lutea is initiated by ovulation. Ovarian oxytocin concentrations reach maximal levels around day 11 of luteal cycle and fall

During the second half of the luteal phase, the human corpus luteum becomes responsive to regular luteinizing hormone (LH) pulses. These LH pulses stimulate progesterone secretion tonically, and during this tonic stimulation, additional LH-independent progesterone pulses occur, which are particularly

The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the uterokinetic activity of oxytocin and dinoprost, the natural PGF2α, with or without aglepristone, in canine myometrial fibers. Thirty-three bitches were allocated into one of four groups, depending on their
