Time-of-Day Impacts Uterine Circadian Rhythms and Response to Oxytocin: Comparison of Uterine Function in Melatonin-Deficient C57BL/6 Versus Melatonin Proficient CBA/B6 Hybrid Mice. [PDF]

J Pineal Res
ABSTRACT Reaching term gestation requires a complex interplay between the uterus and hormonal signals regulating its contractile profile. Most pregnancy‐associated hormones vary in their overall level of release throughout pregnancy, but also have a circadian release pattern, including progesterone, oxytocin, and melatonin. It remains poorly understood
