For many decades the nerve terminals of the postganglionic adrenergic fibers of

the sympathetic nervous system were regarded as a structure to release

norepinephrine or epinephrine on the arrival of a nerve impluse. The nature of the

transmitter substance is a matter of controversy for a long time, but it is now

generally known that norepinephrine would be the transmitter of adrenergic nervous

system. Recently a great interest has been centered on the studies of tissue

catecholamines and our knowledge on their physiological significance has been

greatly advanced. The uterus receives adrenergic terminals from the mesenteric

ganglia and considerable large amount of catecholamines have been shown to be

contained in this organ. However, the activity of epinephrine, norepinephrine or

adrenergic nerve on uterine motility is so complicated that many controversial

results have been reported.

The present experiments were undertaken to reinvestigate the response of

catecholamine to the uterus and to determine the catecholamine content depending on

the species and state of estrus.

1. Experiments on the isolated non-pregnant uterus ,of rabbits.

A uterine segment of non-pregnant rabbit was suspended in constant temperature

bath (38℃) containing 100 ml of Locke's solution aerated with 95% oxygen and 5%

carbon dioxide. Spontaneous motility was recorded with an isotonic lever. Addition

of epinephrine (5x**-7 M) significantly elevated the tonus and stimulated the

spontaneous motility. Pretreatment with dichloroisoproterenol(3×10**-6 M) an

adrenergic β-receptor blockade, appears to enhance the stimulatory activity of

epinephrine on the isolated non-pregnant uterine segrent. On the other hand, the

pretreatment with dibenamine(10**-6M), an adrenergic u-receptor blockade, rendered

the uterine muscle to exhibit inhibition after the addition of epinephrine.

Following the treatment with both DCI and dibenamine, epinephrine produced no

appreciable effects on the spontaneous motility of the uterus. These results

suggest that there exist both α and β adrenergic receptors in the uterine muscle

and the response to epinephrine of the former is predominant over that of the

latter in the non-pregnant uterus of rabbits.

2. Experimental on the isolated pregnant uterus of rabbits.

Uterine strips were prepared from placental site and interplacental site of the

pregnant uterus (8-28 days) of rabbits respectively and the effects of epinephrine

were determined on these isolated uterine strips. Epinephrine produced both

stimulatory and inhibitory action on the isolated strips of pregnant rabbit uterus.

The former was predominant on the interplacental segment and the latter on the

placental segment DCT enhanced the stimulatory activity and dibenamine enhanced the

inhibitory action of epinephrine. The pretreatment with both DCI and dibenamine

blocked completely the activity of epinephrine. These results indicate that the

response to epinephrine of adrenergic β-receptor of uterus increases during

pregnancy.

3. Uterine catecholamine concentration.

Relative to other organs, the epinephrine content is high in uterus; 35.7% of

total catecholamines in rabbit uterus, and 57-69%in human uterus. The concentration

of epinephrine in the human uterus was actually greater than that of norepinephrine

and it was significantly greater during the proliferative phase of the cycle. The

epinephrine concentration was markedly reduced during pregnancy. In the pregnant

uterus of rabbits (9-10 days) norepinephrine content markedly reduced (33-fold) and

epinephrine was about one half that of the control rabbits at the placental site.

The norepinephrine content was also lower at interplacental site while epinephrine

content was not statistically different from the control value. In the human

pregnant uterus, epinephrine concentration was reduced about 45 percent after 6-8

weeks of ectopic pregnancy, the norepinephrine values were not significantly

decreased. At full term and during active labor, the concentrations of both amines

at placental sites were less than those found in the non-pregnant group. The

concentration of epinephrine in lower uterine segment remained unchanged while that

of nor-epinephrine decreased. Of interest was the finding that the norepinephrine

concentration of uteri from toxemic patients was two and half times that of lower

uterine segment of the non-toxic pregrant individuals. Also the epinephrine

concentration was slightly increased.
