Uterine motility in the cow during the estrous cycle. II. Comparative effects of prostaglandins F(2alpha), E(2), and cloprostenol. Research Abstract Details
Intrauterine pressure (IUP) changes were recorded in nonlactating, cyclic dairy cows using transcervically placed intraluminal pressure microtransducers. Spontaneous activity was recorded for the first 30 min. Prostaglandins (PG) F(2alpha) (5 mug/kg), E(2) (5 mug/kg), or cloprostenol (0.1 mug/kg) were then injected intravenously (i.v.) at diestrus, proestrus, estrus, and metestrus, and their effects were recorded. The drug administrations did not alter the duration of the estrous cycle of the cows. Single doses of PGF(2alpha) and E(2) significantly increased uterine activity at all stages of the estrous cycle, while cloprostenol had no effect. PGF(2alpha) and PGE(2) increased IUP, frequency, and amplitude during all stages of the estrous cycle. The spontaneous pattern resumed within 20 min postinjection. Partial uterine refractoriness occurred with both PGs. The results indicate that low doses of natural prostaglandins stimulate uterine activity during the estrous cycle in cattle.
