Abstract

1. 1. Contractility, in vitro, was examined in uterine horns of rats acclimated to 35°C and controls (22°C). 2. 2. Responses to oxytocin and prostaglandin F_2α were measured in the four stages of the estrus cycle and on day 4 of pregnancy. 3. 3. Responses to oxytocin of uteri from heat acclimated rats were significantly depressed in estrus. metestrus and diestrus, while responses to prostaglandin F_h2α were decreased in estrus and metestrus. 4. 4. Responses to oxytocin and prostaglandin were slightly but insignificantly decreased in uteri from pregnant day 4 heat-acclimated rats.
