Rapid myometrial cAMP rise after intra-amniotic PGE2 may inform abortion mechanisms; leaves open systemic relevance and enzyme roles in larger cohorts.
Does intra-amniotic injection of prostaglandins affect cAMP levels and related enzyme activities in women undergoing second-trimester abortion?
Intra-amniotic PGE2 administration for abortion induces a rapid increase in myometrial cAMP without affecting adenyl cyclase or phosphodiesterase activities.
