Popis: We considered the possible relationship between the serum levels of progesterone and estradiol-17 beta, which were controlled to that of several stages in normal pregnant rats, and the Ca2+ sensitivity, defined as the pCa required for half maximum activation of force production, of chemically skinned uterine muscle fibers from ovariectomized rats. The Ca2+ sensitivity was negligibly influenced by the levels of these hormones.
