title: Effect of prostaglandin F2 alpha on the isolated common bile duct of the dog and the rabbit.
abstract: In an isolated spiral muscle preparation from the common bile duct of the dog and rabbit contraction was elicited by PGF2 alpha, in a concentration dependent manner. The contraction was long-lasting and reversible. As opposed to PGF2 alpha, morphine, noradrenaline and barium chloride did not induce a contractile response.
