Effect of theophylline and triiodothyronine on some early estrogenic responses in the rat uterus

Experientia. 1979 Nov 15;35(11):1472-4. doi: 10.1007/BF01962792.

Abstract

Theophylline increases and triodothyronine decreases uterine edema induced by physiological doses of estradiol-17 beta. Both of them decrease estrogen-induced uterine eosinophilia and the number of blood eosinophils, suggesting an explanation for the results in the uterus.
