title: Effect of local negative pressure on reproductive function.
abstract: Local negative pressure acting in the region of projection of the internal reproductive organs in rats widened and enlarged the network of blood vessels, thereby increasing the specific area of transcapillary exchange. Activation of ovulation was observed and the number of follicles and the number of young rats in the litter were increased. Local negative pressure had a positive action on the developing embryo, fetus, and newborn animal.
