With the "double PG impact" (DPGI) technique in 100 sedated first- and second-trimester volunteers, pregnancy was terminated successfully in 99 with a total extraovular PGF2alpha dose of 19.0 +/- 1.5 mg. in 16.9 +/- 0.9 hours. Two thirds of the patients received only the initial dose of 11.6 +/- 0.5 mg. of PG and aborted in 12.9 +/- 0.7 hours without requiring supplemental treatment. Only mild and transient side effects and 14 indicated curettages were recorded. Excepting one gravida (who failed to abort), plasma progesterone in 99 patients decreased at 3 hours after DPGI from 32.5 +/- 1.7 to 22.7 +/- 1.2 ng. per milliliter (P less than 0.001). The rate of progesterone withdrawal and IAT showed a close relationship and the first-trimester patients aborted at a lower progesterone level than the second-trimester patients (P less than 0.001).

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

A family of prostaglandins that includes three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. All naturally occurring PGF have an alpha configuration at the 9-carbon position. They stimulate uterine and bronchial smooth muscle and are often used as oxytocics. PGF
