Comments
Fallopian tube smooth muscle cell in the human contracts dynamically in response to hormones and signaling molecules. Prostaglandins, particularly PGF2α and PGE2, have been shown to increase muscular contractions, while progesterone, levonorgestrel, mifepristone, oxytocin, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) decrease them. These contractile responses are crucial for regulating gamete and embryo transport through the fallopian tube.
