Cervical softening was induced in late pregnant sheep by infusion of PGE-2 into a cervical
artery. The effect of this treatment was assessed by measurement of the extensibility in vitro …

Vehicle or 8 or 16 mg of PGF 2α per 58 kg body weight was given intramuscularly to intact,
hysterectomized or ovariectomized 90–100 day pregnant ewes in three separate …

Transcervical artificial insemination in sheep is limited by the inability to completely
penetrate the cervix with an inseminating pipette. Penetration is partially enhanced at estrus …

The hypothesis that FSH regulates the bovine cervical prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis
that is known to be associated with cervical relaxation and opening at the time of estrus was …

We investigated the influence of the phase of the estrous cycle on mechanical responses
elicited in sheep cervix by potassium chloride (KCl), acetylcholine chloride (ACh) …

Two experiments were conducted to determine if withdrawal of progesterone during the
luteal phase of the oestrous cycle affected the ability of the ovine uterus to secrete …

The control of prostaglandin (PG) production by steroid hormones has been investigated in
non-pregnant bilaterally ovariectomized sheep, prepared with indwelling utero-ovarian …

Three experiments were conducted on Texel ewes to study the influence of prostaglandin F
2α (PGF 2α), prolactin (PRL), estradiol (E 2), and gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) …

Experiment 1 was conducted to determine when the ovine uterus develops the ability to
secrete prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in response to oxytocin and how development is …

Experiments were undertaken to determine whether the conceptus renders a corpus luteum
resistant to the luteolytic action of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), and modulates release of this …
