Popis: Uteri from mature baboons at various stages of the menstrual cycle were collected at autopsy. Transverse slices of the uteri were incubated with [3H]prostaglandins in Tyrode's buffer. Bound and free ligands were separated by filtration. Prostaglandin (PG) accumulation by the tissue slices was evaluated as a function of incubation time, PG type and concentration, temperature, wet weight of tissue and stage of the menstrual cycle. There was no significant difference in PG accumulation in response to PG type (PGE2 or PGF2α) or stage of the menstrual cycle. These results from baboon uteri were compared with those using baboon oviducts and also rabbit uteri and oviducts. Unlike the rabbit tissues, the baboon oviducts and uterine tissues did not exhibit specific net accumulation of prostaglandins. J. Endocr. (1985) 106, 49–53
