Research Interest

The adverse effect of environmental pollutants (pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls) on reproductive processes in cow. It was found that the chloroorganic xenobiotics affect the force of myometrial contractions in cattle in vitro. Moreover, the impairment of synthesis and secretion of ovarian oxytocin (OT) and uterine prostaglandin (PG) F2? tend be a part of the mechanism of the xenobiotics adverse effect on disruption of uterine contractions regulation.
