Ecbolic
Definition:

(20) During different secretory states of hydrokinetic or ecbolic stimulation the respective proportions of enzyme associated and independent calcium vary, and thus determine changes in the calcium-protein ratios.
Oxytocic
Definition:
(a.) Promoting uterine contractions, or parturition.
(n.) An oxytocic medicine or agent.
Example Sentences:
(1) Classical treatment combining artificial delivery or uterine manual evacuation-oxytocics led to the arrest of bleeding in 73 cases.

(4) It can be useful, in fact, during the three periods of a pregnancy: before delivery: it can effect all the functional and psychiatric problems a pregnant woman may develop; during delivery: there is a definite analgesic and oxytocic effect; after delivery: it can be beneficial in all difficulties with breast feeding.
(5) Should these peptides exhibit enhanced oxytocic selectivity in humans, they might offer a greater margin of safety than oxytocin in those clinical stiuations in which the latter is currently employed.
(6) The retro-analogs of deaminotocinamide, tested at concentrations up to 10)-5)M, were found to be without activity as agonists or antagonists in the oxytocic assay.
(7) Bioassay of the pressor and oxytocic activities of the protein-hormone complexes shows that neurophysin-C binds one molecule of either vasopressin or oxytocin.
(8) As part of a program in which we are attempting the design and synthesis of an antagonist of the antidiuretic response to arginine-vasopressin (AVP) [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid),4-valine,8-D-arginine]vasopressin [d(CH2)5VDAVP] was synthesized and assayed for antidiuretic, vasopressor, and oxytocic activities.
(9) While rupture of the uterus by oxytocic agents in the second trimester has previously been documented, this case is unusual in that fetal parts were palpable through the cervical os, delaying diagnosis and definitive management.
