The mitotic behavior of the epithelium of the uterus at different stages of the sexual cycle in mice

  • Experimental Biology

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

The mitotic activity of the epithelium of the uterine mucous membrane in mice differs at various stages of the sexual cycle and may be expressed by a double-peaked curve with the maximum cellular divisions in the proestrus and the initial stage of diestrus. The changes in the mitotic activity coincide in time with the morphological reconstructions of the mucous membrane at various stages of the sexual cycle. Consequently, the mitotic activity may reflect the functional condition of the organ.
