Background:  Thrombin possesses potent oxytocic activity  in vitro  and  in vivo . This activity has been proposed to play a role in post-parturitional uterine contractions and possibly, preterm birth related to intrauterine hemorrhage. Previous workers have demonstrated that cyclo-oxygenase pathway may not play a significant role in oxytocic activity of thrombin. However, the role of 5-hydroxytryptamine (a mediator of some of the biological activities of thrombin) in the oxytocic activity of thrombin is unknown. The present study therefore aimed to examine the possible involvement of 5-hydroxytryptamine in thrombin-induced myometrial contractions.

Oxytocic activity of thrombin: modulation of thrombin-induced gravid rat myometrial contractions by 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonists
