  • Title: [Prostaglandins and the uterine cervix. Immunofluorescence study].
    Author: Compan C, Laffargue F, Pages A, Pages AM, Déparzia P.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1989; 18(4):451-4. PubMed ID: 2674268.
    Abstract:
    The authors, using immunofluorescence, studied the effect of different prostaglandins (F2 alpha, E1, dimethyl PGE1) on cervical connective tissue. They analysed 80 biopsies which were carried out before and after the prostaglandins had been applied locally, both in pregnant and in non-pregnant women. The method showed that there were changes in the collagen fibres but not in fibronectin. On the other hand, there does not seem to be any difference in the collagen effect with the methods used: 1) between pregnant and non-pregnant women, and 2) between the different types of prostaglandin that were studied.
