The effect of glucagon on spontaneous contractility of isolated pregnant uterine muscle.
To determine whether glucagon has relaxant effects on the spontaneous contractions of term pregnant human uterine smooth muscle in an isolated preparation. ⋯ These results suggest that relaxation of contractions was likely caused by the diluent rather than by glucagon. We conclude that glucagon does not have a direct relaxant effect on spontaneous contraction of isolated uterine muscle obtained from term pregnant uteri.
