Abstract
The levels of nuclear progesterone and estradiol receptors have been followed during the development and decline of deciduomata induced in the uteri of ovariectomised rats. There were broadly 2 phases of deciduomal growth, the first phase being associated with high estrogen nuclear receptor levels per unit DNA. Progesterone nuclear receptor levels did not greatly change (in relation to DNA content) during both phases of full deciduomal development but peak levels were observed on day 5 after decidualization. Alkaline phosphatase activity was maximal by day 3, before peak hormone receptor levels were reached in the nuclei.
