    Keywords : Autonomic nerves; endometrial and cervical secretion; nitric oxide; guineapig.;

    Abstract : Background: Uterine secretion is important in many different aspects of reproduction e.g. sperm transport and survival, fertilization, nourishment of the ovum and implantation. A cholinergic autonomic nervous secretory innervation has been established and modulation of the secretion by prostaglandins and NSAID drugs has been postulated. READ MORE
