title = "Uterine sensitivity to prostaglandins in the pregnant rabbit: A method for testing the effect of previous administration of small doses of PGF2α for short periods",
abstract = "Using an intrauterine pressure transducer to telemeter uterine pressure a method has been devised to assess the sensitivity of the uterus to intra-aortic PGF2α infusions. Intra-aortic infusion of 1-10 μg PGF2α/min into the 21-24 Day Pregnant rabbit has little effect on uterine contractility. A continuous intra-aortic infusion of 1 μg PGF2α/h was found to result in a gradual increase of sensitivity to PGF2α even after cessation of the continuous infusion.",
