Within some 14 h of treatment with oestradiol benzoate (5 μg), the intra-uterine pressure cycles in ovariectomized puerperal rats were almost abolished. However, treatment with 600 μg actinomycin D 30 min before the administration of oestradiol benzoate interfered significantly with the inhibition of uterine mechanical activity during the following 14 h. Treatment of rats with actinomycin D alone produced no significant fall in the frequency of pressure cycles. These results suggest that oestrogen inhibits myometrial activity in the rat through a mechanism which involves the synthesis of protein.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
