Progesterone, but not 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate, inhibits human myometrial contractions

Progesterone, but not 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate, inhibits human myometrial contractions Objective The aim was to determine whether progesterone (P4) or 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) directly inhibit human uterine contractility in vitro and thereby clarify their mechanisms of action. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Wolters Kluwer Health
