Two oxytocin analogs, N-(p-fluorobenzyl) glycine and N-(3-hydroxypropyl) glycine, induce uterine contractions ex vivo in ways that differ from that of oxytocin.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Contraction of the uterus is critical for parturient processes. Insufficient uterine tone, resulting in atony, can potentiate postpartum hemorrhage; thus, it is a major risk factor and is the main cause of maternity-related deaths worldwide. Oxytocin (OT)

Automatic Contraction Detection Using Uterine Electromyography

Applied Sciences, 2020
Electrohysterography (EHG) is a promising technique for pregnancy monitoring and preterm risk evaluation. It allows for uterine contraction monitoring as early as the 20th gestational week, and it is a non-invasive technique based on recording the ...

Muscarinic receptor blockade with oxybutynin reduces spontaneous and induced uterine muscle contractions

Pregnancy
Objective The uterus and the bladder have striking physiologic and anatomic similarities. Anticholinergic medications are commonly used to treat “overactive bladder” by targeting M2 and M3 muscarinic receptors.

Relationship between Lactation and Post-Partum Uterine Involution in Srikandi Husada Clinic, Kudus, Central Java [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Rapid uterine involution prevents post-partum hemorrhage. Lactation stimulates the release of oxytocin hormone that can be used to enhance uterus contraction.

Control of human endometrial stromal cell motility by PDGF-BB, HB-EGF and trophoblast-secreted factors [PDF]

, 2013
Human implantation involves extensive tissue remodeling at the fetal-maternal interface. It is becoming increasingly evident that not only trophoblast, but also decidualizing endometrial stromal cells are inherently motile and invasive, and likely ...

Characterization and automatic classification of preterm and term uterine records. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Predicting preterm birth is uncertain, and numerous scientists are searching for non-invasive methods to improve its predictability. Current researches are based on the analysis of ElectroHysteroGram (EHG) records, which contain information about the ...

Na+-leak channel, non-selective (NALCN) regulates myometrial excitability and facilitates successful parturition [PDF]

, 2018
Background/Aims: Uterine contractility is controlled by electrical signals generated by myometrial smooth muscle cells. Because aberrant electrical signaling may cause inefficient uterine contractions and poor reproductive outcomes, there is great ...
