Levonorgestrel decreases cilia beat frequency of human fallopian tubes and rat oviducts without changing morphological structure
Levonorgestrel, a derivative of progesterone, effectively protects women against unwanted pregnancy as an emergency contraceptive. Previous studies have not been successful in determining the mechanism by which levonorgestrel acts. In the present study we analysed cilia beat action and cilia morphol...
