  • Title: Hormonal control of oviductal ciliary activity: effect of prostaglandins.
    Author: Verdugo P, Rumery RE, Tam PY.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 1980 Feb; 33(2):193-6. PubMed ID: 7353698.
    Abstract:
    Prostaglandins have been shown to exist in the walls of the oviduct and to effect strongly oviductal muscle contractions and egg transport. Our observations, using laser light-scattering spectroscopy, indicate that the "natural" prostaglandins F2 alpha, E1, and E2 can stimulate ciliary activity in cultures of ciliated epithelium of the rabbit oviduct. These findings suggest a new alternative to explain the effect of prostaglandins on oviductal egg transport.
