Inhibition of Oxytocic Responses to Oxytocin in Pregnant Rats by [1-L-Penicillamine]oxytocin and [1-β-Mercapto-β,β-diethylpropionic acid]oxytocin 1

Abstract

Summary

The ability of [1-L-pcnicillamine]oxytocin and [1-β-mercapto-β,β-diethyl-propionic acid]oxytocin to suppress the contractions induced by oxytocin in the uteri of 12- to 16-day-pregnant rats has been demonstrated, using a new technique for recording uterine activity in vivo.
