  • Title: [Antiluteolytic activity of embryos in various animal species].
    Author: Zarrilli A, Lacalandra GM, Minoia P.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1983 Nov 30; 59(11):1755-61. PubMed ID: 6582864.
    Abstract:
    In mare, sheep and bitch the action of PGF2 alpha have been studied in the early pregnancy. Prostin F2 alpha (Upjohn) and Gabbrostim (Vetem ) are commercial names of PGF2 alpha used at doses which are luteolytic in the non pregnant female. Seric progesterone showed a temporaneous decrease but after four or five days the initial values were restored and none of the experimental females aborted. In the opinion of authors, embryo per se and/or with its adnexa might have interacted blocking the mechanism of luteolysis induced by the administration of PGF2 alpha.
