“The mean (± SD) inductionabortion interval was significantly shorter in those receiving PGF2α (6.7 ± 1.2 hours) than in those receiving oxytocin (8.8 ± 2.7 hours).”
“The observed pattern of decreased PGFM concentrations in the susceptible group of mares after both AI and oxytocin administration indicates a possible defect in PGF2alpha release at the oxytocin receptor or post-receptor level.”

“Binding of PGF2alpha to receptors on large luteal cells stimulates the secretion of oxytocin which appears to activate PKC and may also inhibit steroidogenesis in small luteal cells.”
“The uterotonic potentials of oxytocin and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) were markedly reduced in the control tumour-bearing group as compared to the normal one.”
