  • Title: Effect of contraceptive suture on biochemical composition of uterine fluid of protein deficient rats.
    Author: Singh VP, Roy SK, Kar AB.
    Journal: Indian J Exp Biol; 1972 Nov; 10(6):448-9. PubMed ID: 4353098.
    Abstract:
    To study the effect of a protein deficient diet on the biochemical composition and the volume of uterine fluid, 18 rats were maintained on a protein deficient diet and 18 rats on a normal diet. A surgical silk suture was inserted into the right uterine horn of each rat. After ovariectomy followed by rest of 7 days and injection of 50 mgm estradiol dipropionate daily for 7 days, the animals were sacrificed and the luminal fluid aspirated and studied. The presence of the silk suture led to an increase in the amount of albumin present in the fluid. There were no other alterations of biochemical composition of fluid attributable to the IUD or dietary protein deficiency. In vivo incorporation of d1-valine-1-carbon-14 into protein lactic acid glycogen, acid-soluble phosphorus, and phosphatase activity was not affected by the presence of the sutures.
