The oviduct is a specialized organ responsible for the storage and the transport of male and
female gametes. It also provides an optimal environment for final gamete maturation …

Oxytocin appears to play an important role in regulating uterine secretion of prostaglandin F
2α (PGF 2α) in sheep. Changes in uterine secretion of PGF 2α throughout the oestrous cycle …

Objective: The purposes of this study were to determine (1) whether uterine tissues as well
as the fetal placenta are involved in the development of prostaglandin-synthesizing capacity …

Prostaglandins (PGs) have been implicated as stimulants to myometrial contractility at
parturition in many species. To determine whether the increased production of PGs at …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are potent paracrine hormones that are important for the control of
several functions in the uterus and fetus during pregnancy and parturition. PGs are rapidly …

Increased intrauterine prostaglandin (PG) production is crucial for the initiation of parturition.
To investigate the mechanisms controlling intrauterine PG synthesis, we examined the …

Increased prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis involves multiple enzymes and two isoforms
of the terminal enzyme of this biosynthetic pathway, PGE synthase (PGES), were recently …

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is known to have important roles in labor, but the detailed
mechanism underlying the spontaneous human labor remains unknown. Here, we …

Most preterm deliveries are associated with infection and inflammation. Prostaglandin E 2
(PGE 2) is one of the most important mediators in the processes of inflammation, and is …

Prostaglandins (PGs) of luteal origin may have paracrine and/or autocrine actions on the
functions of the corpus luteum (CL). Previously, we have shown that enzymes of PG …
