Uterine blood flow and its distribution after chronic estrogen and progesterone administration. 1977

S G Anderson, and B T Hackshaw, and J G Still, and F C Greiss

The rates and distributions of uterine blood flow (UBF) were measured in conscious castrated ewes during estradiol, progesterone, and combined-hormone regimens. Supplemental progesterone decreased the magnitude of UBF observed on estradiol alone. Progesterone favored distribution of UBF to the uterine caruncles and estradiol favored distribution to the myometrium and uterine cervix. Proportionate endometrial blood flows were similar on all hormone regimens. These observations suggest that estradiol secretion may not be responsible for the definitive increase in UBF observed during ovine pregnancy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009215 Myometrium The smooth muscle coat of the uterus, which forms the main mass of the organ. Uterine Muscle,Muscle, Uterine,Muscles, Uterine,Uterine Muscles
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.
