Intrauterine pressure was recorded from nonpregnant guinea pigs linked to pregnant guinea pigs by cross circulation. A frequency-modulating effect was observed which could not be demonstrated when the pregnant partner was replaced by either another nonpregnant or a male animal. The effect was rapid in onset and was short lasting when cross circulation was discontinued. It was postulated that a myometrial inhibitory factor was present in the blood of the pregnant animal which for reasons discussed could not be progesterone. Infusions of porcine-relaxin (1 mg/h) simulated the changes observed in the cross-circulation expenments and the suggestion is made that relaxin or a relaxin-like substance or substances is a major myometrial regulating factor in the guinea pig.
