Activity of the genital tract and plasma levels of oxytocin and cortisol at the time of mating in the ewe.

Experiments were conducted in the ewe to determine the effects of mating on the activity of the genital tract and on blood levels of oxytocin and cortisol. The activity of the uterus and cervix was recorded by electromyography, oxytocin was measured by radioimmunoassay, and cortisol by high performance liquid chromatography. Mating itself did not increase circulating oxytocin or cortisol; uterine motility remained unchanged during and after copulation but the cervix was significantly stimulated during teasing and after copulation. It is suggested that increased cervical activity resulting from adrenergic mechanisms may facilitate the generation of a cervical reserve of spermatozoa.[1]
