Effects of the selective progesterone receptor modulator asoprisnil on uterine artery blood flow, ovarian activity, and clinical symptoms in patients with uterine leiomyomata scheduled for hysterectomy [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction: Asoprisnil, a novel orally active selective progesterone receptor modulator, is being studied for the management of symptomatic uterine leiomyomata. The exact mechanism of action is not yet discerned.

Phloroglucinol inhibits oxytocin-induced contraction in rat gastric circular muscle and uterine smooth muscle

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2023
Phloroglucinol is commonly used to alleviate dysmenorrhoea and stomach cramps. However, there is little evidence of phloroglucinol in the mechanism of primary dysmenorrhoea (PD) development. In this study, a PD rat model was established.

High Fat High Sucrose Diet Modifies Uterine Contractility and Cervical Resistance in Pregnant Rats: The Roles of Sex Hormones, Adipokines and Cytokines

Life, 2022
Background: In obesity, the adipose tissue becomes a very significant endocrine organ producing different factors called adipokines, such as leptin, adiponectin and kisspeptin; however, no data are available about their actions on uterine contraction in ...

Endothelin-dependent vasoconstriction in human uterine artery: application to preeclampsia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Reduced uteroplacental perfusion, the initiating event in preeclampsia, is associated with enhanced endothelin-1 (ET-1) production which feeds the vasoconstriction of uterine artery. Whether the treatments of preeclampsia were effective on ET-

Characterization of the tissue-level Ca2+signals in spontaneously contracting human myometrium [PDF]

, 2012
In the labouring uterus, millions of myocytes forming the complex geometrical structure of myometrium contract in synchrony to increase intrauterine pressure, dilate the cervix and eventually expel the foetus through the birth canal.

Blood vessel assessment using computed tomography : Effects of ephedrine on uterine artery

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Background: Ephedrine increased blood pressure due to the contractile properties of resistance vessels. Excessive contraction of the uterine arteries might cause fetal distress. This study was to determine the diameter of the uterine artery of female New

The role of mitochondria in uterine contractions [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1975
The contractile activity of smooth muscle, like that of all muscle types, is controlled by changes in the myoplasmic free calcium ion concentration [ 131. Muscle concentration is initiated by a rise in the calcium concentration and relaxation occurs when the calcium level has been lowered to the initial level. It is known that extra-cellular calcium is
