Inhibitory effect of spironolactone on the contractions of the rabbit uterine horn and the human myometrial strip.

چکیده
The spontaneous contractions of the rabbit uterine horns and the human myometrial strips were stimulated by oxytocin and buserelin acetate in isolated preparations. Spironolactone application to these models produced inhibitory effects on the contractions. It is concluded that spironolactone has inhibitory effect on the rabbit uterine horn and the human myometrial strip contractions.

Intrauterine migration of the porcine embryo--interaction of embryo, uterine flushings and indomethacin on myometrial function in vitro.
Twenty-four pregnant Landrace and Yorkshire gilts were utilized to examine the relationship between myometrial activity and intrauterine embryo migration. On d 2 (1st day of estrus = d 0), embryos were flushed from one oviduct and transferred to the opposite oviduct. Uterine horns were ligated at the uterotubal junction on the flushed side and 40 and 50 cm posterior to the uterotubal junction o...
متن کاملTHG113.31, a specific PGF2alpha receptor antagonist, induces human myometrial relaxation and BKCa channel activation
BACKGROUND PGF2alpha exerts a significant contractile effect on myometrium and is central to human labour. THG113.31, a specific non-competitive PGF2alpha receptor (FP) antagonist, exerts an inhibitory effect on myometrial contractility. The BKCa channel is ubiquitously encountered in human uterine tissue and plays a significant role in modulating myometrial cell membrane potential and excitabi...
متن کاملPhytoestrogens reduce the effect of polychlorinated biphenyls on the contractility of bovine myometrium in vitro
Proper regulation of uterine contractility, both spontaneous and oxytocin (OT)-amplified, is essential for successful fertilization and maintenance of gestation. Previously, we showed that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), regarded as environmental pollutants, contributed to the increase in contractions of cyclic bovine uterus. In this paper, we hypothesized that phytoestrogens, plant-derived c...
متن کاملInhibition of Uterine Contractility by Thalidomide Analogs via Phosphodiesterase-4 Inhibition and Calcium Entry Blockade.
Uterine relaxation is crucial during preterm labor. Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitors have been proposed as tocolytics. Some thalidomide analogs are PDE-4 inhibitors. The aim of this study was to assess the uterus-relaxant properties of two thalidomide analogs, methyl 3-(4-nitrophthalimido)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-propanoate (4NO2PDPMe) and methyl 3-(4-aminophthalimido)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphe...
