| Abstract: | In the female hamster, temporary sterility for a period of 10 or 15 days was induced by an intraperitoneal Silastic-PVP-tube containing 3.5 or 1.0 mg of PGF2alpha, respectively. All Silastic-PVP-PGF2alpha tube hearing animals regained fertility and delivered normal litters at various times after the placement of the tube. The release rate of 3-H-PGF2alpha from the Silastic-PVP tube was described and their potential use as a drug delivery system discussed. |
