title: Changes in blood vasotocin level in response to uterine stimulation in the hen.
abstract: Changes in blood vasotocin level in response to uterine stimulation in the hen. Acta Physiol. Pol. 1979, 30 (2): 267--272. The blood vasotocin level after uterine and vaginal stimulation was determined by bioassay, on the isolated frog bladder. It was found that uterine distension causes a 2--3 fold increase in the blood vasotocin level compared to that before distension. Vaginal distension was without any effect on the blood vasotocon level.
