  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rabbit myometrial autografts, VIP inhibited prostaglandin-F2 alpha-induced myometrial activity in a dose-dependent manner.

    In plain wordsIn rabbits, VIP reduced uterine muscle activity caused by prostaglandin-F2 alpha, and higher doses reduced it more.
