Abstract
Summary
The influence of estradiol-17β on distribution of certain non-metabolizable sugars, the “non-utilizable” amino acid (AIB) and Na22 in uterus of functionally nephrectomized castrate rats was examined. Uterine cells did not exclude D-xylose-1-C14 in absence of estradiol, and no effect on uterine permeability to D-xylose-1-C14 or α-aminoisobutyric acid-1-C14 was observed 1.5 hr after hormone administration, at which time changes in uterine metabolism of carbohydrate and protein have been established.
