Abstract
Decidual responses were produced in the uteri of estrogen-primed, progesterone treated, rabbits following traumatization of the uterus with a thread. Estrone, administered along with progesterone, did not appear to augment the responses obtained with progesterone except, perhaps, at one dose level. Estrone, injected into ligated segments of the uterus, was unable to stimulate decidual responses. Decidual responses were also obtained by injection of solutions of sodium carbonate and dibasic potassium phosphate into ligated segments of the uterus. Histamine dihydro-chloride, HC1, heparin, serotonin and sodium carbonate were ineffective.
