Abstract
13,14-Dihydro-15-keto-PGF2alpha(PGFM) levels in serum and vaginal secr etion, before, one hour, and 24 hours post abortion were measured in 1 3 women from 8 to 12 weeks pregnant. The mean metabolite levels in the blood were 61.2 pg/ml pre-termination, 73.1 pg/ml and 121.4 pg/ml one hour and 24 hours post-termination. The vaginal dialysate means were 136.7 pg.ml, 425.7 pg/ml, and 211.7 pg/ml respectively.
