1 Here, we report that: (a) contrary to previous reports, UG gene expression in the rabbit uterus occurs throughout gestation with a precipitous decline just before parturition; (b) this gene expression is dramatically increased in the fetal lung with increasing gestational age; and (c) while there is an inverse relationship between the levels of UG, PGE2, and PGF2 alpha, a positive correlation was found in that of UG and leukotriene C4 in the fetal lung.
