...J.E. Martin; W.L. McGuire; C.J. Pauerstein Macromolecular binding of estradiol in the ampullary and isthmic portions of the rabbit oviduct and the rabbit uterus was examined by in vivo uptake studies, sucrose gradient centrifugation, and binding assays. The studies revealed that the in vivo uptake...

...C.J. Pauerstein; B.D. Fremming; J.E. Martin Previous investigations of the influence of exogenous progesterone on the rate of egg transport through the rabbit oviduct have yielded some conflicting data. This study was designed to measure the effects of exogenous progesterone on tubal ovum passage...

...Ruth M. Henderson; A. Johns; D.M. Paton The types of cell-to-cell contacts and the relationship between the nerve endings and the smooth muscle of the estrogen-treated rabbit oviduct have been investigated. The cell contacts most consistently found in the oviduct were simple appositions, with a 20...

...Sheridan A. Halbert; Patrick Y. Tam; Robert J. Adams; Richard J. Blandau Ampullary transport of supravitally stained cumulus egg masses was studied in intact oviducts of anesthetized rabbits whose abdomens had been opened for observation. Following observations of normal transport, muscular...

...Luigi Mastroianni, Jr.; Jeffry Komins The oviduct provides a temporary environment for spermatozoa, the ovum, and the embryo during the first 3 days of development. The milieu in the tubal lumen is ideal for fertilization and then events which precede it. Conditions which influence spermatozoa...

...C.H. Spilman; M.J.K. Harper The effects of prostaglandins (PGs) on muscular activity of the oviductal isthmus and on the rate of tubal egg transport are reviewed. In consideration of the available data a mechanism by which PGs contribute to the physiological control of egg transport is suggested...

...R.J. Blandau; J.L. Boling; S. Halbert; P. Verdugo In studying oviductal physiology, it is important to sort out the complex interrelationships between muscle, cilia, nerves and secretory processes as they each of themselves, or in concert, effect gamete transport. In this review, a variety...

...Sheridan A. Halbert; Fred Stegall; John A. Ringo; Donald R. Canfield; Richard J. Blandau An optoelectronic instrument for detecting the ovum and its surrounding cumulus mass in the oviductal ampulla of rabbits was successfully tested in the abdominal dish preparation of Blandau. An optical...

...Carl J. Pauerstein; Barrie J. Hodgson; Benjamin D. Fremming; Joseph E. Martin Oviducts were depleted of endogenous sympathetic neurotransmitter by either surgical denervation, or intraluminal infusion of 6-OH-dopamine or systemic administration of reserpine. Functional denervation was confirmed...

...D.A. Tutton; D.H. Carr Pre-implantation blastocysts or trophoblast, obtained from ectoplacental cones, were transferred to the right oviducts of both pregnant and nonpregnant mice. Blastocysts which remained within the oviductal lumen did not show evidence of further differentiation...

...J.H. Widdicombe; D.M. Paton The smooth muscle of the monkey oviduct is similar to that described for other species and organs. Cell-to-cell contacts, in the form of simple appositions, were numerous. The adrenergic nerve supply was sparse, and close contacts between nerve and muscle were extremely...

...S. Caschetto; B. Lindblom; N. Wiqvist; L. Wilhelmsson Millimeter-wide muscle strips were prepared from the circular and longitudinal musculature of the oviductal ampulla of fertile women. These specimens were mounted in organ baths for isometric recording of contractile activity. The two types...

...Hrvoje Vrčic; Božidar Horvat; Ivan Damjanov Glycoproteins of mouse endometrium and oviduct were analyzed by lectin overlay blotting of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)-separated whole-cell extracts, sampled at each of the four phases of the normal estrous cycle...
