Abstract

We have examined the effects of PGI₂, 50 ug/kg, on norepinephrine induced placental vasoconstriction in 6 chronically catheterized nearterm sheep. Regional blood flows were measured with radioactive microspheres. Control flows were measured. Norepinephrine was then infused at 50 ug/min throughout the experiment. After 15 min the blood flows were again measured and PGI₂ was then added to the infusate at 50 ug/min. In 15 min regional blood flows were again measured and the PGI₂ infusion was stopped. Regional blood flows were measured for the last time 15 min later. The renal andnon placental uterine vasculatures behaved in a predictable manner. There was constriction with norepinephrine but PGI₂ opposed the effects of norepinephrine and decreased the resistance towards the normal levels. The placenta did not behave as did the other organs. Norepinephrine increased placental resistance by PGI₂ did not decrease the resistance and severely depress the placental blood flows. PGI₂ does not appear to oppose norepinephrine induced placental vasoconstriction.
