Popis: Objective: To investigate the effects of isradipine, which is a calcium channel blocker, on late pregnant rats’ myometrium under in vitro conditions. Methods: Stripes were obtained from the myometriums of pregnant rats which were decapitated on the 18 days of gestation. The effects of isradipine on myometrium were investigated in four groups and four cumulative doses: 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml, 0.1 μg/ml, 1 μg/ml. Group 1: spontaneous myometrial contractions, Group II: myometrial contractions induced by oxytocin, Group III: myometrial contractions induced by prostaglandin, Group IV: myometrial contractions induced by oxytocin in calcium-free medium. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used for the statistical analysis and p
