Disappearance of oxytocin-induced uterine tiredness by treatment with fructose-1,6-diphosphate. Experimental evidence.

Fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) is able to abolish oxytocin induced spastic inertia in rat uterus. The clinical use of FDP is suggested by observation carried out on 30 deliveries with oxytocin induction. The FDP-treated patients (5 g of FDP in 50 ml of water by intravenous infusion) showed a statistically significant decrease of time elapsed between the beginning of uterine inertia and the recovery of uterine contractions (176 +/- 25.4 min) compared to controls (562 +/- 32.5 min).

Effect of prostaglandin A on renin secretion in the dog.

The role of PGA on the release of renin in the anesthetized dog has been studied. The infusion of prostaglandin for 60 minutes at a dose unable to cause pressor modifications (2 microgram/kg/min) was shown to increase the plasma renin activity (PRA); this effect was inhibited by propranolol and strengthened by aminophylline.
