ABSTRACT Autoradiographic, enzymic and histologic studies on uteri of pregnant rats were carried out to follow the endometrial modifications which take place during progestation (days L0 – L4) and culminate in the state of uterine receptivity essential for ovum-implantation. Pulse labelling with tritiated thymidine (radioactive DNA precursor) on L0, L1 and L2 revealed a sequence of cell renewal in luminal and glandular epithelium and endometrial stroma. On L3 and L4 stromal cells showed extensive incorporation of tritiated thymidine. This synthetic activity was associated with endometrial preparation for decidualization and was evoked at least in part, by the surge of oestrogen on L3. All layers of the uterine wall were heavily infiltrated on L0 and resembled the site of an acute inflammatory reaction. Subsequently, polymorphonuclear infiltration diminished and monocytic cells predominated. On L3 a spatial arrangement was observed: eosinophiles were concentrated in the basal endometrium and monocytic cells in the subepithelial stroma. A comparison was made between such a shift in migratory cells in the uterus and similar phenomena which occur in inflammatory and immune reactions. Activities of acid and alkaline phosphatases, of ATP-ase and succinic dehydrogenase were low on L0 and L1 during the periods of infiltration, degeneration and regeneration of luminal and glandular epithelium. Enzymic activities increased on the following days, (L3 and L4). Vascular dilation and engorgement and endometrial oedema were observed near the blastocysts on L4. Most blastocysts incorporated tritiated thymidine after 14.00 h on L4, but some showed uptake before loss of the zona which occurs usually between 14.00 and 16.00 h; therefore, it was assumed that the permeability of the zona increases prior to being shed. Activities of succinic dehydrogenase and acid and alkaline phosphatases were demonstrable in blastocysts on L4 while they were still »free« in the uterine lumen.

ABSTRACT The succinic, malic and isocitric dehydrogenases in the ovary of immature and mature, normal and serum gonadotrophin injected rats were examined. The Qo2 of these enzymes were markedly enhanced in the gonadotrophin injected rats of both age groups, except in the case of succinic dehydrogenase in the ovary of the immature rats, where a slight non-significant decrease was noted. It is concluded that in the mature rat ovary, gonadotrophin administration stimulates the activity of all the examined dehydrogenases of the citric acid cycle, whereas in the immature rat ovary, at least the isocitric- and malic dehydrogenases are thus stimulated.

Enzymatic Systems

Succinic dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activities were determined in homogenates of three aortic segments (ascending and arch, descending thoracic, abdominal) and liver of man, the rabbit and the dog. Both enzymes exhibited the lowest activity in human aorta. Succinic dehydrogenase exhibited the highest activity in the thoracic aorta of the dog and intermediate activity in the latter's abdominal segment and the rabbit's aorta. Cytochrome oxidase, in contrast, exhibited the highest activity in the rabbit's aorta. A slight gradient of decreasing activity from thoracic to abdominal aorta was noted for cytochrome oxidase in both the rabbit and dog and for succinic dehydrogenase in the rabbit, whereas a significant decrease in the latter enzyme was noted in the abdominal segment of the dog. No gradient of activity was apparent in man. Liver exhibited the lowest activity for both enzymes in man, highest in the dog and intermediate in the rabbit. The above findings suggest a biologic species difference between the aorta of man, the rabbit and the dog, which may be partly ascribed to a difference in the components of the above two enzymatic systems. The same species difference holds true for hepatic tissue.
