Uterine receptor activation in response to uterotonic agents in late-pregnancy rat myometrium following pretreatment with oxytocin: an in vitro study
Background: Long term exposure to oxytocin reduces the ability of myometrium to respond to oxytocin, leading to oxytocin receptor (OXTR) desensitization. In this study we analyzed the response to other uterotonics such as prostaglandin, as well as investigating prostaglandin E2 receptors (EP3) and p...
