Metabolism of Rabbit Endometrium Following The Administration of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin and During Oestrus, Pseudopregnancy, and Pregnancy

Abstract

Changes in endometrial metabolism which occur after the intravenous injection of human chorionic gonadotrophin and during pregnancy (day 9) and pseudo· pregnancy (day 9) in the rabbit have been measured. During in vitro incubation, the endometrium at all stages studied produced more isotopically labelled carbon dioxide from [1_14C]glucose than from [6-14C]glucose.
