ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A non proteinaceous extract of Bromelia pinguin fruit was examined for activity on the rat uterus in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo experiments involved pregnant rats given the extract intraperitoneally. These rats did not abort nor were any foetal deformities observed. The extract inhibited spontaneous activity of the pregnant rat uterus in vitro. The extract of Bromelia pinguin fruit may have some utero-active compound which inhibits uterine motility.(AU)
