Abstract
Prostaglandins (PGs) are the physiologically active compounds synthesized from C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) by cyclooxygenase (COX) and a series of PG synthases, and are utilized as pharmaceuticals. Currently, commercialized PGs are mainly produced by chemical synthesis under harsh conditions. By contrast, bioproduction of PGs can be an alternative, environmental-friendly, and inexpensive process with genetic engineering of model plants, although these conventional host organisms contain a limited quantity of PG precursors. In this study, we established an efficient PG production process using the genetically engineered microalga Fistulifera solaris which is rich in C20 PUFAs. A cox gene derived from the red alga Agarophyton vermiculophyllum was introduced into F. solaris. As a result, a transformant clone with high cox expression produced PGs (i.e., PGD2 , PGE2 , PGF2α , and 15-ketoPGF2α derived from arachidonic acid, and PGD3 , PGE3 , and PGF3α derived from eicosapentaenoic acid) as revealed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The total content of PGs was 1290.4 ng/g of dry cell weight, which was higher than that produced in the transgenic plant reported previously. The results obtained in this study indicate that the C20 PUFA-rich microalga functionally expressing COX is a promising host for PG bioproduction.

Abstract
The pharmacological effects of ambrein (isolated from ambergris) on the contractile responses induced by some agonists in smooth muscle preparations were investigated. Ambrein in the concentration range of 10, 50 and 250 microg/ml decreased the spontaneous contraction of the isolated rabbit jejunum, rat uterus and guinea-pig vas deferens. Ambrein-induced antagonism to acetylcholine (Ach) in the guinea-pig ileum was abolished when the concentration of calcium chloride in the Tyrode's solution was increased to 5 mM/l. Furthermore, ambrein did not antagonise nicotine-induced contractions in the isolated rabbit jejunum or serotonin-induced contractions in the isolated guinea-pig ileum and vas deferens or the rat uterus. However, ambrein in the concentration range of 10, 50 and 250 microg/ml antagonised prostaglandins (PGs) E2, D2, F2alpha, and oxytocin-induced contractions in the rat uterus in vitro. Ambrein also antagonised (+/-) noradrenaline and (-) adrenaline-induced contractions in the isolated guinea-pig vas deferens. It is concluded that ambrein-induced non-selective dose-dependent antagonism to the effects of some agonists (Ach, adrenaline, noradrenaline, PGs and oxytocin) in some smooth muscles may be due to the ability of this compound to interfere with the mobilisation of extracellular Ca2+ required for muscular contractions induced by these agonists.

Abstract
The regulatory effects of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) on Ca2+ flux and phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover in human lymphocytes were studied. cAMP did not affect the intracellular accumulation of Ca2+ induced by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and histamine-trifluoromethyl toluidide derivative (HTMT) in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). In addition, cAMP also did not alter Ca2+ flux induced by PHA, anti-CD3, or PAF in T cells, or by anti-IgM and HTMT in non-rosetted cells. Similarly, cAMP did not inhibit IP accumulation induced by HTMT in PBL, anti-CD3 in T cells, and by anti-IgM or HTMT in non-rosetted cells. The only exception was the synthesis of IP induced by PHA in T cells that was inhibited by cAMP. Furthermore, prolonged treatment of T cells with cholera toxin inhibited Ca2+ accumulation in response to CD3. The degree of inhibition of Ca2+ and IP responses was not proportional to the levels of intracellular cAMP generated.

Abstract
1. The effects of the estrogens estradiol (E2, 10(-7) to 3 x 10(-5) M) and diethylstilbestrol (DES, 10(-7) to 3 x 10(-6) M) on tonic contractions of the rat uterus induced by KCl and CaCl2 have been studied. 2. E2 and DES relaxed, in a dose-dependent way, the tonic contraction induced by KCl (60 mM) (IC50: 5.16 +/- 1.49 x 10(-6) and 4.51 +/- 0.03 x 10(-7) M); the tonic contraction induced by CaCl2 (3 mM) in the rat uterus incubated in depolarizing Krebs (127 mM of K+) have also been relaxed (IC50: 8.6 +/- 0.03 x 10(-7) and 2.56 +/- 0.07 x 10 M) by both drugs. 3. The CaCl2 (0.1 to 10 mM) counteracted the relaxing effect of E2 and DES, respectively, up to 28.13 +/- 10.2% and 34.71 +/- 11.5%, on KCl-induced contractions, and up to 126.36 +/- 19.35% and 95.8 +/- 16.3% on CaCl2-induced contractions. 4. Bay K 8644 (10(-10) to 10(-6) M) reversed the relaxing effect of E2 and DES, respectively, up to 42.49 +/- 2.28% and 43.31 +/- 3.59% on KCl-induced contractions, and up to 21.73 +/- 4.16% and 75.97 +/- 9.63% on CaCl2-induced contractions. 5. Propranolol (10(-6) M) did not modify the relaxing effect of E2 or DES on CaCl2-induced contractions.

Abstract
1. The effects of phenidone (P, 10(-4)-10(-3) M), sodium diclofenac (D, 10(-5)-10(-4) M) and ethacrynic acid (E, 10(-5)-10(-4) M), proposed as inhibitors of eicosanoid synthesis, on the contractions of rat uterus induced by several agonists have been studied. 2. P, D and E inhibit the motility induced by oxytocin (4 mU/ml) (IC50: 4.62 x 10(-4), 2.55 x 10(-4) and 2.98 x 10(-5) M, respectively). 3. P (10(-3) M), D (10(-4) M) and E (10(-4) M) also inhibit the contraction induced by methacholine (10(-5) M), prostaglandin F2a (10(-6) M) and CaCl2 (6 mM), and relaxed, in a dose-dependent way, the tonic component of contraction to KCl (60 mM) (IC50: 5.81 x 10(-4), 6.67 x 10(-5) and 7.55 x 10(-5) M, respectively). 4. The CaCl2 (0.1-10 mM) reverted the relaxation of KCl contraction produced by P, but not by D or E. None of the inhibitions on CaCl2 (6 mM) are reverted by Bay K 8644. 5. D and E also relaxed the tonic contraction to vanadate (10(-4) M) in uterus incubated in calcium free solution P, enhances the vanadate-induced contractions.

Abstract
1. The effects of N-methyl- and N-isobutyl-1,2-diphenyl ethanol amine (compounds M & E), respectively and diltiazem (D) were examined on the spontaneous and evoked uterine contractions of pregnant rats in vitro. 2. Addition of compound M (75-300 microM), compound E (15-60 microM) or D (100-400 nM) to the uterine tissues, inhibited the spontaneous contractions in a dose-dependent manner. The potency order was D greater than E greater than M. 3. The inhibitions were reversed by elevating the extracellular Ca2+ concentration by 20 mM. The compounds also antagonised CaCl2-evoked contractions. 4. Treatment of rats with either compound during pregnancy days (1-16) did not affect the implantation process and did not induce any teratogenicity. 5. The uterine inhibitory effects of the compounds may be due to blockade of uterine Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
1. The ability of oxytocin and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF) to induce contraction in guinea-pig myometrium in calcium-free solution was studied in an attempt to assess the extent to which intracellular calcium stores could be released by these two agonists. Both longitudinal and circular muscle layers were studied separately and the effects of gestational age were also examined. 2. In longitudinal strips, the responses to oxytocin and PGF in the absence of external calcium decreased progressively throughout gestation. Responses of circular strips to both agonists were unchanged throughout pregnancy, until day 64, when no response to PGF could be elicited. 3. Pre-treatment with high potassium (and normal calcium) increased the responses to the agonists in calcium-free medium while pre-treatment with beta-adrenoceptor agonists had no effect on responses to oxytocin or PGF. 4. Responses to both agonists decreased with time in calcium-free solution suggesting a loss of calcium from stores with a half-time of 3 min. The rate of the decline in the responses was the same in both muscle layers and did not change with gestational age. 5. In the presence of lanthanum contractions evoked by oxytocin, but not PGF, were augmented 2-3-fold. This potentiation of the response to oxytocin occurred in both muscle layers and throughout gestation. 6. Each agonist evoked only one response in calcium-free solution containing EGTA. The response to PGF in longitudinal strips following a challenge with oxytocin was reduced, compared with the response to PGF when applied first while the response to oxytocin in these strips was unchanged following exposure to PGF. In circular strips neither oxytocin- nor PGF-induced contractions were altered following prior exposure to the other agonist. 7. It is concluded that oxytocin and PGF operate via two distinct mechanisms to release intracellularly stored calcium in both longitudinal and circular components of the guinea-pig myometrium and a hypothesis to explain the results is presented.

Abstract
Recent progress in our understanding of uterine smooth muscle contraction is reviewed. We no longer believe that actin-myosin interaction in the myometrium occurs through activation of the thin filament; but it is triggered by calcium-dependent phosphorylation of myosin in the thick filament. Calcium is now thought to originate from both extracellular and intracellular sources. Calcium can enter the cell through either a voltage- or a hormone-controlled calcium channel. The intracellular source of calcium is the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The effect of oxytocin in human labor is no longer considered the result of increased circulating oxytocin but rather of increased oxytocin receptors. In contrast, the contractile action of some prostaglandins is related to increased prostaglandin formation at human parturition. The step between hormone binding and cellular action is mediated by second messengers. The uterine-relaxing action of cyclic adenosine monophosphate is now thought to be limited to the inhibition of myosin phosphorylation. Recently discovered second messengers for contraction of the myometrium are phosphoinositides; their turnover causes calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Guanine nucleotides are thought to be modulators of these two second messengers.

Abstract
The contraction of the rat uterus incubated in Ca-free EDTA-containing solution in response to PGE1, oxytocin and vanadate has been investigated in order to examine the mechanism of the release of Ca from intracellular stores. The results obtained show that PGE1 evoked a sustained contraction the magnitude of which diminishes slightly after successive additions of PGE1 but not after long exposure to Ca-free medium. Oxytocin induced two different contractions: one of them was transient and observed only after incubating for 5 min in Ca-free solution; the other remained constant during prolonged incubation in Ca-free medium. Vanadate, an inhibitor of Ca-ATPase, induced sustained contraction after prolonged exposure to Ca-free medium, and isoprenaline, which stimulates Ca re-uptake by intracellular organelles, counteracted the sustained contractile response induced by the three agonists.

Abstract
A low concentration (0.2 nM) of oxytocin induced phasic tension development in the isolated uterus of the day-22 pregnant rat. Tonic spasm was also induced by higher concentrations of oxytocin (2 and 20 nM). Spasmogenic responses to bradykinin and potassium chloride (KCl) also contained phasic and tonic components while acetylcholine induced tonic spasm only. The phasic component of the responses to oxytocin and to bradykinin and both components of the response to KCl were inhibited by (+)-cis diltiazem (0.1 and 1 microM). The tonic component of the responses to oxytocin and to bradykinin and the responses to acetylcholine were only reduced by (+)-cis diltiazem at concentrations greater than 10 microM. (-)-cis Diltiazem was less potent than (+)-cis diltiazem as an inhibitor of calcium (Ca2+)-induced spasm in a depolarizing medium and of the phasic spasms induced by oxytocin. The two isomers were of similar potency as inhibitors of oxytocin-induced tonic spasm. Spasmogenic responses to oxytocin, bradykinin, acetylcholine and KCl were decreased when uteri were bathed in media which were Ca2+-free or of low Na+ content. However, there was no correlation between the rank order of sensitivity of the four spasmogens to the changed media and to their inhibition by (+)-cis diltiazem. Oxytocin (0.2 nM) increased the frequency, duration and amplitude of spike activity, measured by extracellular electrical recording, in parallel with enhancement of phasic tension development. With higher concentrations of oxytocin (2 and 20 nM) spike firing was initially continuous but often subsequently ceased despite the associated tonic contracture. After incubation in (+)-cis diltiazem (10 microM), oxytocin (0.2, 2 and 20 nM) produced graded tonic spasm without spike activity. Oxytocin (0.2 nM) produced a small increase in 45Ca2+ influx into myometrium as assessed by the 'lanthanum method'. Higher concentrations of oxytocin (2 and 20 nM) did not increase 45Ca2+ influx. It is concluded that the phasic component of the response of the uterus to oxytocin and bradykinin is associated with Ca2+ influx via voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. The tonic component is due to another mechanism(s) which does not appear to involve Ca2+ influx. All of the spasmogenic response to KCl can be explained by Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. These channels do not appear to be involved in the spasmogenic response to acetylcholine.

Abstract
Human myometrial visceral and vascular preparations and placental chorionic and stem villous vessels were dissected from myometrial and placental specimens obtained at term Caesarean section and after vaginal delivery. Vascular ring preparations and myometrial strips were mounted in organ bath and isometric tension recorded. Only myometrial preparations developed spontaneous contractile activity, which was effectively blocked by the calcium channel blocker nitrendipine (NTD) 10(-7) M. Pretreatment with calcium-depleted medium for 30 min. almost abolished myometrial responses to high K+ (124 mmol), oxytocin (OX) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). Vascular responses to high K+ (124 mmol) were also nearly abolished by such treatment. However, noradrenaline (NA), vasopressin (VP) and PGF2 alpha in myometrial arteries and PGF2 alpha in chorionic vessels and stem villous arteries induced significant, but reduced contractions after calcium depletion. In all vascular preparations, exposed to calcium-depleted medium, NTD (10(-8) M) almost abolished contractions induced by calcium (0.1-4.0 mM) in the presence of K+ (124 mmol) and depressed responses to calcium in the presence of the other agonists tested. NTD (10(-10)-10(-7) M) depressed myometrial contractions induced by K+, OX and PGF2 alpha more effective than vascular responses to K+, NA, VP and PGF2 alpha in the myometrial arteries and K+ and PGF2 alpha in the placental arteries. It is concluded that activation of contraction in vessels from the human utero-placental unit implies multiple cellular sources of calcium, while in myometrial smooth muscle, influx of superficially bound calcium may be an important initial step in contractile activation. Treatment with calcium channel blockers during late human pregnancy might involve relaxation of the myometrium together with vasodilatation of the myometrial and foetal placental vascular beds.

Abstract
The contraction of the rat uterus in response to PGE1 in high K+ medium and in Ca-free solution which contained EDTA has been investigated in order to examine whether excitation-contraction coupling involves the release of Ca from an intracellular store. In uterus maximally contracted by K+, cumulative concentrations of PGE1 (1.25 - 20 ng/ml) caused maintained concentration-dependent contraction. PGE1 induced sustained contraction of rat uterus in Ca-free medium after incubation with 3mM EDTA for 50 min. In these conditions the involvement of extracellular Ca is highly unlikely. The PGE1-induced contraction could be repeated without exposure to external Ca ions and with only slight reduction in magnitude. The PGE1 concentrations required to elicit uterine contraction in Ca-free solution were about 1000 times higher than the effective doses in KCl-depolarized uterus. In conclusion, the present investigation shows that Ca influx is not essential for PGE1-induced contraction of rat uterus, although extracellular Ca enhances it presumably by increasing the free Ca levels in the cytosol.

Abstract
Small intramyometrial arteries and pieces of adjacent myometrial tissue were obtained from 25 non-pregnant women undergoing hysterectomy. Vascular and myometrial preparations were dissected, mounted in organ baths and isometric tension was recorded. Myometrial strips, but no vascular preparation, developed spontaneous contractile activity. Noradrenaline (NA) and vasopressin (VP) contracted both vessels and myometrium. Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF 2 alpha) contracted the myometrial tissue, but had only a minor effect on the vessels. Removal of extracellular calcium almost abolished the myometrial responses to high K+ (124 mM)-solution, PGF 2 alpha, NA and VP. The vascular responses remaining after this treatment were 18% (K+), 34% (NA) and 25% (VP) of control contractions induced by high K+ (124 mM). Nifedipine potently depressed myometrial contractions induced by NA and VP, but was less active against the vascular responses to these agents. In preparations exposed to calcium-free medium, nifedipine (10(-7) M) almost abolished myometrial contractions induced by calcium in the presence of K+ (124 mM), NA or VP. It also effectively depressed vascular responses to calcium in the presence of K+, but was less active if NA and VP were present. It is suggested that PGF2 alpha has almost no contractant effect on intramyometrial arteries, and that the activation process in these vessels is much less dependent on extracellular calcium than that of the myometrium.

All four substances produced maintained contractions which could be initiated repeatedly after exposure to Ca2+-free solution for more than 1 h, without a significant decrease. The largest contractions were obtained with vanadate and the smallest ones with acetylcholine. The tension was usually 7-30% of the control contraction triggered by an action potential in Ca2+ containing solution. Maintained contractions induced by fluoride were unaffected by isoprenaline while those induced by acetylcholine, prostaglandin E2 and vanadate were completely relaxed. Prostaglandin E2- and vanadate-induced contractions were slightly reduced by Na+ removal or by adding Ca2+ antagonists. In contrast, contractions induced by acetylcholine were suppressed in Na+-free solution and largely inhibited in the presence of Ca2+ antagonists. The depolarization induced by acetylcholine in Ca2+-free solution was strongly dependent on the external Na+ concentration. The relationship between the size of the acetylcholine-induced depolarization and the membrane potential (shifted by constant currents) was linear, giving an apparent reversal potential for acetylcholine close to zero potential. In Ca-free solutions and in the presence of atropine, Na+ action potentials of long duration can be evoked which produced contractions of the same order of magnitude as those initiated by acetylcholine-induced depolarizations. 7 These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the maintained contractions in Ca2+-free solutions induced by several stimulants could be related to Ca2+-independent mechanisms (fluoride) or Ca2+ release from an intracellular store. This latter mechanism would include both pharmacomechanical (prostaglandin E2, vanadate) and electromechanical (acetylcholine) coupling.

Abstract
The roles of extra- and intracellular calcium for the contractile effects of PGF2 alpha in the feline basilar artery (BA) were investigated. Comparisons were made with contractions induced by K+ and noradrenaline (NA). Addition of nifedipine to PGF2 alpha- or K+ (124 mM)-contracted arteries resulted in an incomplete relaxation, whereas NA-contracted vessels were completely relaxed. Incubation of the preparations in a calcium-free medium containing 10(-5) M EGTA for 5-10 min almost abolished contractions induced by K+ and NA. In contrast, 63% of the response to PGF2 alpha remained after pretreatment of the arteries in a calcium-free solution for 40 min; PGF2 alpha produced a biphasic contraction in 17 out of 20 preparations consisting of a rapidly developing initial phase followed by a second increase in tension after 1-6 min. The second phase was absent if the EGTA-concentration was increased to 10(-4) M, or if the arteries were pre-treated with nifedipine. After incubation of the arteries in a calcium-free medium for 40-120 min and K+-depolarization, re-addition of calcium elicited contractions at lower concentrations in the presence of PGF2 alpha than in controls. The results suggest that PGF2 alpha-induced contractions in the feline BA are considerably less dependent on extracellular calcium than contractions evoked by K+ or NA. PGF2 alpha appears to be able to release calcium from two cellular stores, and may also promote calcium influx through the cell membrane.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates the Ca2+ dependency of the contractions elicited by egg albumin and SRS-A in isolated tracheal preparations from sensitized guniea-pigs. The egg albumin contraction consisted of a rapid, initial and a long lasting, tonic phase; the first phase independent and the latter dependent of extracellular Ca2+. The SRS-A contraction was completely dependent of extracellular Ca2+ ions. On the other hand, the egg albumin contraction of the parenchymal strips was not influenced by extracellular Ca2+. SRS-A released Ca2+ from a microsomal fraction of sensitized lung tissue. This effect was, however, absent in microsomes from desensitized lung tissue. It is suggested that the Ca2+ -mobilizing effect of SRS-A is of utmost importance for the initiation of contraction of the tracheal smooth muscle.

Abstract
Uterine horns for castrated, estrogen-treated rats wee superfused for 6 hours in 95% O2/5% CO2 at 37 degrees C. The method of superfusion in which medium flows separately over the inner and outer surfaces of the horn allows prostaglandin synthesis in the myometrium and endometrium to be measured independently while their anatomical relationship is undisturbed. Prostaglandins were measured by radioimmunoassay. They myometrium formed more 6-keto-PGF1 alpha than PGF whereas the opposite was true of the endometrium. Production rates of TxB2 in both tissues were relatively low. The addition of inophore A-23187, oxytocin or phenylephrine to the superfusion medium not only increased the myometrial production rates of both 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and PGF but also increased the ratio of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha:PGF. Neither ionophore nor phenylephrine affected the rate of prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium whereas oxytocin caused a significant increase in the production rate of PGF. We conclude that the large amounts of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in the myometrial superfusate probably originate in both the smooth-muscle cells of the myometrium and the endothelium of the myometrial blood vessels. The differential responses to ionophore A-23187, phenylephrine and oxytocin suggest differences in the mode of their regulation of prostaglandin synthesis.

Abstract
Myometrial tissue was obtained from non-pregnant women subjected to hysterectomy because of various gynaecological disorders, and from women undergoing caesarean section. Strip preparations were dissected and isometric tension was recorded. Nifedipine (2.9 X 10(-8)--2.9 X 10(-6)M) inhibited spontaneous contractile activity, mainly by reducing the amplitude of contraction in both non-pregnant and pregnant myometrium. The drug also inhibited potassium induced contractions in a concentration dependent manner. This effect seemed to be more pronounced in pregnant than in non-pregnant tissue. In preparations of pregnant human myometrium, normally polarized or potassium depolarized, oxytocin induced a contractile activity that was effectively inhibited by nifedipine. Nifedipine also relaxed contractions induced by vasopressin in isolated non-pregnant myometrium. It is concluded that the relaxant effect of nifedipine on isolated pregnant and non-pregnant human myometrium can be explained by inhibition of calcium influx. The results thus support the view, that calcium influx is an important step in the initiation of contractile activity in human uterine smooth muscle.

Abstract
A microsomal fraction was prepared from human pregnant uteri at term and at 6 to 19 weeks' gestation, and from nonpregnant uteri by differential centrifugation and purified on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient. This fraction bound calcium in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP-dependent calcium binding in microsomal preparations was found to increase with advancing pregnancy. Addition of progesterone increased the ATP-dependent calcium binding, while addition of oxytocin decreased the ATP-dependent calcium binding. In combination, oxytocin and progesterone counteracted each other. The progesterone effect was specific for progesterone; three biologically inactive analogues had no effects on calcium binding. The actions of progesterone and of oxytocin on ATP-dependent calcium binding were found to be consistent with their respective in vivo uterine relaxing and contracting actions.

Abstract
Microsomal and mitochondrial fractions were isolated from rabbit colon muscle homogenate by differential centrifugation. The calcium content of these fractions were rather similar. The microsomes were divided into subfractions by gradient centrifugation and tested on glycerol treated colon muscle. Acetylcholine and imidazole elicited an EGTA-sensitive contraction of glycerinated colon muscles in the presence of microsomal subfractions and Mg-ATP. The glycerinated colon muscle constitute a rapid system for qualitative drug tests on Ca-metabolism in subcellular fractions of smooth muscle.

Abstract
The relationship between "activator-calcium" (A-Ca), progesterone (P), prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) and oxytocin (Oxy) has been examined in 100 uterine strips of 34 pregnant and 100 strips of 34 post partum rabbits. At the 25th day of gestation, uterine P was 13.9+/-1.3 ng/g, while within 3-12 hours post partum 3.3+/-0.3 ng/g tissue (P less than 0.001). Uterine strips, mounted isometrically in Krebs' solution, sustained maximum excitability in a steady state when exposed every 30 seconds for 4 seconds to an electric field of 12 V/5 cm (a.c.). The maximally contracting muscles were then rinsed at intervals of 6 minutes with Ca-free Krebs. In Ca-free Krebs, the post partum uterus lost 31% of its Ca and 96% of its excitability in a short 25 minutes, while the pregnant uterus lost 30% of its Ca and 93% of its excitability in 50 minutes (P less than 0.001). Since the extracellular space is approximately 30% in the uterus, this approximately 30% Ca, lost by both muscles, most probably was extracellular Ca and the small A-Ca fraction which is presumably "bound" more strongly at the membrane systems of the P-dominated pregnant, than the non-dominated post partum uterus. The significantly faster and more complete recovery from Ca-deficiency and inexcitability of the pregnant than the post partum uterus (P less than 0.001), at different levels of external Ca, further substantiates this premise. So does the demonstration that exposure to Ca-free Krebs increases 45Ca-efflux 400% in the post partum and only 110% in the pregnant uterus (P less than 0.001). Exposure to 100 ng/ml PGF2alpha in normal Krebs has a similar effect on the 45Ca-efflux of the post partum uterus, while the response of the pregnant uterus is indistinct (P less than 0.001). These highly significant differences between the post partum and the pregnant uteri in their Ca-efflux explain the higher threshold (P less than 0.001) and lower "sensitivity" to PGF2alpha and Oxy (P less than 0.001) of the pregnant than the post partum uterus. The already very highly significant differences between the two muscles, in threshold and sensitivity to these two most potent oxytocics, were increased still further by rendering the uterine strips Ca-deficient. All together, these findings substantiate the early contention (1-7, 18, 19) that uterine function at the cellular level is regulated by opposing actions of the suppressor P and the intrinsic stimulant PG or other oxytocic agents on threshold, excitability and the Ca-activation of the contractile process.

Abstract
The effects of prostaglandin F2alpha (PG) have been studied on the transmembrane potentials and contractions in isolated myometrial strips from pregnant rats. The results showed that: 1. The sensitivity of the myometrium to exogenous PG increases from day 19 to day 22 of gestation. 2. The electrical response to PG, at maximally effective doses (10-6 to 10-5 M) consists of a slow depolarization which upon reaching threshold initiates spike discharge. 3. These actions are most pronounced at term (day 22) and are due to a direction of PG on the myometrial cells. 4. D-600 (a methoxy derivative of verapamil) abolishes spike discharge and the phasic contractions induced by PG but has no effect on the slow depolarization and the accompanying increase in tonic tension. 5. The slow depolarization is dependent upon the presence of sodium in the external environment and is unaffected by the removal of calcium. 6. The spikes (and phasic contractions) are dependent upon the presence of calcium in the external environment.

Abstract
The data demonstrate that the contractions of hypocontractile active labor and normal spontaneous labor are different in several measures in addition to maximal amplitude. Furthermore, when the pathophysiology is corrected by the use of oxytocin, the contractions resemble those of normal spontaneous labor except in the maximal rate of tension development. Our data tend to support the subcellular model of uterine contractility, although the incompleteness of these models limits interpretation.

Abstract
The frequency of spontaneous in vitro contractions of seminiferous tubules of the rat appeared to be increased in a dose-dependent manner by prostaglandin F1alpha. PGF1alpha treatment increased the tonus of the smooth muscle cells in the wall of the tubules as indicated by a reduction in the diameter of the tubules. When the tubules were rinsed successively with fresh Tyrode's solution, the contractile frequency was diminished. Returning the original bathing medium to the tubules restored their contractile frequency, as did treatment of the rinsed tubules with PGF1alpha (10(-7) M). Preinjecting ther rats with indomethacin tended to reduce the contractile frequency of the extirpated tubules. Treating the tubules with a solution of indomethacin for 90 min. in vitro was more effective than pretreatment in vivo in reducing contractile frequency, but a combination of these two procedures produced the greatest inhibition. PGF1alpha restored the contractile frequency of the indomethacin-treated tubules. Our results indicate that PGs modulate the in vitro contractility of the tubules.

Abstract
The effects of prostaglandin F2 alpha on uterine contractility were compared with the effects of oxytocin and ergometrine. All patients had an intrauterine death. 5 patients were induced with prostaglandin F2 alpha, given intraamniotically in low doses, starting with 125 micrograms. Doses were increased in relation to uterine activity. 5 other patients were induced by intravenous administration of oxytocin and ergometrine. Uterine pressure was monitored by a transabdominal open-tip catheter system. Results were quantitated in tonus (mm Hg), amplitude (mm Hg), frequency (number of contractions per 10 min), Montevideo units, active and total pressure areas per 20 min. Possible biochemical and coagulation changes were controlled before, during and after induction. Changes did not occur. Intermittent increasing small doses of PGF2 alpha increased uterine activity exponentially. Hypertonia persisting longer than 5 min was seldom seen with oxytocin or with PGF2 alpha. Ergometrine increased frequency of uterine contractions, without influencing tonus, probably due to a specific effect on the 'archemyometrium'. The induction-delivery interval was shorter in the PGF2 alpha group (range: 6-15 h) than in the oxytocin group (range: 7-24 h). In the latter group more inductions were necessary to complete delivery. Using PGF2 alpha in these small doses did not cause any side effects. With the intraamniotic injections, starting with 125 micrograms PGF2 alpha, clinical results are the same as those reported in the literature for high doses.
