Abstract
The production of deciduomata in the traumatized uteri of the urine-treated immature rats was employed as a test for the functional activity of the corpora. 144 infantile [female] rats were treated with various amounts of pregnancy urine extract (Follutein, Squibb) ,[long dash]0.25-20.0 Z-A units per day. The uteri were stimulated with thread loops on different days of treatment from the 3rd to 22nd. Autopsy was performed five days after the traumatization. The results (75.6% showed decidual responses) demonstrated the capacity of pregnancy urine for inducing functional corpora lutea in the infantile rat. A periodicity of the frequency of decidual responses according to date of uterine stimulation was suggested.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
