Abstract: | In the fetal cotyledons and membranes, PGE production (determined in a continuous superfusion system) was significantly greater than that of PGF (P less than 0.01 and P less than 0.02 respectively). The fetal cotyledon also produced more PGE than the maternal cotyledon (P less than 0.01) and more PGF after parturition than before (P less than 0.01). |
