The many facets of the oxytocin (OXT) system of the brain and periphery elicited nearly
25,000 publications since 1930 (see, as listed in PubMed), which revealed central roles for …

In many nonprimate mammalian species, cyclical regression of the corpus luteum
(luteolysis) is caused by the episodic pulsatile secretion of uterine PGF2α, which acts either …

The uterus and fallopian tubes represent a functionally united peristaltic pump under the
endocrine control of ipsilateral ovary. We have examined this function by using …

The transport function of the uterus and oviducts and its modulation by oxytocin has been
examined using hysterosalpingoscintigraphy, recording of intrauterine pressure …

Geoffrey Harris pioneered our understanding of the posterior pituitary, mainly with
experiments that involved the electrical stimulation of the supraoptico-hypophysial tract. In …

This paper describes changes in spontaneous myometrial activity around estrus, factors that
affect myometrial activity, and the possible role of uterine contractions in the process of …

Intrauterine insemination by laparoscopy is required to achieve acceptable lambing rates in
ewes when using frozen semen but the procedure has evoked welfare concerns. Oxytocin …

A new, nonsurgical, open-end catheter technique was used to study spontaneous uterine
activity around estrus in sows, and the effects of estrogens, seminal plasma, cloprostenol …

Rhythmic peristaltic contractions of the muscular wall of the non-pregnant uterus, as well as
rapid sperm transport from the vagina to the Fallopian tubes, have long been documented …

Contents A critical analysis of the results of research in the function of the endometrium was
carried out and a view point presented. The role of the endometrium in endocrine regulation …
