Additional pathway of transfer of uterine prostaglandin F-2 to the ovary in sheep

Summary. The concentration of prostaglandin (PG) F-2 was measured in different uterine and ovarian blood vessels between Days 12 and 16 of the oestrous cycle in 14 normal ewes. Concentrations of PGF-2 significantly higher than peripheral levels were found in the uterine vein (P < 0·002) and oviducal vein (P < 0·002). This suggests that an additional pathway for PGF-2 transfer to the ovary exists via the venous drainage passing alongside the oviduct.
