[The reactivity of the arterial vessels of the ovary]

The responsiveness of the ovarian vascular muscle to administration of adrenaline, noradrenaline, serotonin, acetylcholine, histamine, angiotensin II and prostaglandin F2 alpha was studied in isolated ovarian artery rings of women, cow and rabbit. The data obtained show that the ovarian artery responsiveness differs in various species and that the responsiveness of the ovarian vascular muscle depends on the functional state of the ovary.
