Endotoxin-induced acceleration of ovum transport in rabbits.
Salmonella enteritidis-Boivin endotoxin (1--20 microgram/kg) induced accelerated oviductal ovum transport in rabbits in a dose-related manner. Indomethacin prevented this effect. Levels of prostaglandin E and F in uterine vein blood increased following endotoxin injection.
