At and for about 3 days after oestrus the utero-tubal junction of the ewe has a valve-like action which prevents fluid under pressure in the uterine (Fallopian) tube from entering the uterus.
This action appears to be the result of oestrogen-induced oedema and flexure of the wall of the utero-tubal junction.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
