Glucose movement into rat uterine fluid

Abstract
The uterine horns of anesthetized rats were cannulated and 2.5 ml 0.9% NaCl at 37.degree. C was recirculated for up to 90 min. Glucose appeared in the medium, reaching a concentration of .apprx. 1 mM. Various aspects of the transport process were examined. Evidently the glucose is mainly derived from the plasma, and probably enters the uterine lumen by a process involving facilitated diffusion.
