Abstract

The interaction between the prostaglandin production of the human endometrium and myometrium has been further investigated using intact pieces of endometrium in homogenates of myometrium. There was an increase in the production of 6 oxo PGF, alpha when these tissues were incubated together, whereas there was no change in the production of PGE, PGF2 alpha or 13, 14 dihydro 15 - keto PGF2 alpha. This endometrial - myometrial interaction could have important implications in the pathogenesis of menorrhagia.
