Abstract
In an in vitro trial on 80 pregnant and nonpregnant mice, the sensitiv ity of the uterus myometrium to the vasoconstrictors vasopressin, orni pressin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine was examined in comparison wi th oxytocin as a standardized stimulative drug. The pregnant uterus sh owed a significantly increased sensitivity to ornipressin, vasopressin , and norepinephrine. Epinephrine showed no uterus-stimulating effect, and an increase of sensitivity caused by pregnancy was not detected.
