| effect of indomethacin on egg transport and pregnancy in the rabbit. | treatment of rabbits with indomethacin (10 mg/kg/day) 48 hr before mating, and with 20 mg/kg at 12 hr followed by 8 mg/kg at 48, 72 or 96 hr after mating did not affect the rate of egg transport through the oviduct. indomethacin treatment at the time of implantation interfered with pregnancy and caused degeneration and resorption of embryos. these results suggest that inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis does not directly affect egg transport, but that prostaglandin appears to be required for t ... | 1976 | 1255565 |
| fertilizing ability in vivo and in vitro of spermatozoa of rats and mice treated with alpha-chlorohydrin. | the fertilizing ability of epididymal spermatozoa from rats and mice treated for 3 or 4 or 9 or 10 days with various doses of alpha-chlorohydrin was tested in vitro, and in vivo by intrauterine insemination. the minimum doses (per kg/day) needed to affect fertilization significantly were: rat, in vitro, 8-8 mg for 3 or 4 days, 4-4 mg for 4 days and 2-7 mg for 9 or 10 days; in vivo, 4-4 mg for 3 or 4 days and 2-7 mg for 9 or 10 days: mouse, in vitro, 4-4 mg for 3 days and 13-3 mg for 9 days; in v ... | 1976 | 1255566 |
