Abstract:
Ten micrograms of PG F2 alpha in distilled water were injected intraperitoneally into thirty non-pregnant female rats and their hypophysis was studied after aldehyde-fuchsin and performic acid-alcian blue staining. A definite depletion of posterior pituitary principle was observed in the hypophysis. The role of oxytocin in relation to the oxytocic effect of prostaglandin F2 alpha is discussed.
