title: Serum relaxin concentrations in women following the administration of 16,16-dimethyl-trans-delta 2-PGE1 methyl ester during early pregnancy.
abstract: Serum relaxin was estimated in 11 women during termination of first-trimester pregnancy with 16,16-dimethyl-trans-delta 2-PGE1 methyl ester (16 DM-PGE1). Vaginal administration of 16 DM-PGE1 was associated with a significant increase in serum relaxin.
