This chapter reviews the current information pertaining to regulation of blood flow through
the nonpregnant and pregnant uterus. Using a thermal conductivity probe as an indirect …

Uterine blood flow increases 15-to 20-fold during pregnancy. The fact that pregnancy is also
characterized by dramatic increases in the production rate and plasma concentrations of …

A transvaginal duplex Doppler ultrasonography system was used to measure blood flow
