Summary. Systemic intravenous infusion of physiological concentrations of PGF-2α and its major metabolite, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF-2α (PGFM) into non-pregnant ewes possessing a corpus luteum induced the release of oxytocin—neurophysin. These results suggest that, during luteolysis, endogenous release of uterine PGF-2α would be able to stimulate the release of ovarian oxytocin and oxytocin—neurophysin from the ovary.
