Abstract
Summary An in vitro use of TTC reduction by uterine tissue in the female rat has been studied. Estrogen administration to spayed females results in levels of TTC reduction proportionate to the log-dose of estradiol. The level of TTC reduction fluctuates during the estrous cycle, being highest at proestrus and lowest on day 1 postestrus.Keywords
