Abstract

The effect of prostaglandin F 2α on ovulation and fertilization was studied in rabbits. The number of ovulation was not affected by subcutaneous injection of PGF 2α but the recovery of ova was significantly decreased when PGF 2α was given either at 12 or 16 h after HCG injection and autopsied 24 h latter. The results suggest that exogenous PGF 2α accelerates ovum transport and expels the eggs prematurely from the female tract and does not impair ovulation or the fertilization processes when given to rabbit at 1 mg/kg B.W.
