    Abstract:
    A quantitative method was used to determine the concentration of high-affinity oestradiol-receptor sites in rat uterine supernatant preparations under various physiological conditions. Cyclic changes in concentration were observed during the oestrous cycle, with a maximum occurring in late dioestrus. The changes followed a similar pattern in endometrium and myometrium, although concentrations were higher in the former. In pseudopregnancy the concentration was initially low, rising to a maximum on the tenth day. In early pregnancy a high concentration of receptor was found to be associated with the developing placenta, but this declined in later stages of pregnancy. After ovariectomy or combined ovariectomy and adrenalectomy the receptor concentration remained at a constant low value that could be increased by treatment with oestradiol. The receptor concentration was considerably higher in immature than in adult uteri.
