Miller, Owen & Emmens (1968) described the changes in uridine incorporation into uterine and vaginal RNA during early pregnancy and pseudopregnancy in the mouse and discussed their significance. A large increase in uridine incorporation occurred in the uteri in both conditions between 10.30 hr. on day 2 and 10.30 hr. on day 3, with a further increase from day 4 onwards only in the uteri of pregnant mice. The former increase is in both cases believed to reflect increasing ovarian oestrogen secretion, a conclusion supported by the studies of Finn & Martin (1967), Martin & Finn (1968) and Galassi (1968). In view of the widely held belief in a discrete surge of ovarian oestrogen on day 4 of pregnancy in the rat (Tic, Marcus & Shelesnyak, 1967) it was considered desirable to study the corresponding changes in this species.
Randomly bred female rats of the Wistar strain, weighing 200–280 g.,
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.
