A uterotonic fraction of Mentha arvensis (UM-fraction) was tested for antifertility effect in rats. Subcutaneous administration of the UM-fraction to rats pregnant from day 1 to day 10 caused a significant interruption in pregnancy. The effect was pronounced during the post-implantation period. At the effective dose, the UM-fraction did not exhibit significant estrogenic or antigonadotropic activities. However, it enhanced the estrogenic effect of estradiol when administered concurrently.
对薄荷（Mentha arvensis）子宫收缩成分（UM成分）进行了大鼠抗生育作用测试。从妊娠第1天至第10天对大鼠皮下注射UM成分可导致妊娠显著中断。该作用在着床后期尤为明显。在有效剂量下，UM成分未表现出显著的雌激素或抗促性腺激素活性。然而，当与雌二醇同时给药时，它会增强雌二醇的雌激素作用。
