“…During the estrous cycle in rats the uterine luminal fluid contains amino acids, proteins, enzymes and carbohy drates beside a high concentration of potassium [Ringlcr, 1961: Walters et al, 1979. The composition of the accu mulated fluid differs from the blood plasma in a number of respects, e.g.…”

The postnatal development of the gerbil uterus has been investigated. Special attention has been paid to the luminal surface epithelium. In the newborn gerbil, the uterus contains already some fluid and the uterine luminal epithelium seems to possess mechanisms for the regulation of the fluid contents. Among them are apical protrusions and microvilli, endo- and exocytotic vesicles of different nature, highly active Golgi complexes and dilated rER vesicles and also very distinct junctional complexes between the cells in the apical areas.

“…The blood-uterine lumen barrier also has tEe ability to transport a variety of low molecularweight electrolytes and non-electrolytes including potassium (Levin & Edwards, 1968), amino acids (Walters et al, 1979(Walters et al, , 1981, glucose and certain other monosaccharide energy substrates (Leese et al 1979) and possibly prostaglandins (see below) (Jones & Harper, 1983;Cao et al, 1984). For example, the potassium ion concentration in uterine fluid from rat pro-oestrous fluid, which accumulates copiously, is about 10-fold greater than that in plasma (Howard & DeFeo, 1959).…”

Summary. The concept of a blood-tissue barrier defines the rates at which matter exchanges among the vascular and extravascular fluids of the tissue. The remarkably slow rates at which substances such as mannitol ( M , 182) enter uterine fluid from plasma demonstrate the existence of a blood-uterine lumen barrier. Available evidence indicates that the uterine microvascular endothelium and the uterine epithelium behave as lipoid layers interrupted by water-filled channels. Furthermore, both cell layers appear to select actively certain substances over others for exchange with opposing extracellular fluids. In contrast to these similarities, the uterine epithelium and endothelium differ considerably with regard to restrictiveness. For most substances the primary rate-limiting boundary between blood and the uterine lumen is the epithelium. The extracellular fluid compartments of the lumen and endometrium are also influenced by the internalization and release of materials into and out of intracellular compartments including those of the stromal and migratory cells of the endometrium, the epithelium and the developing conceptus. Considerable evidence suggests that the luminal milieu of the developing embryo is created and maintained by the transport and permeability properties o r the blood-uterine lumen barrier in conjunction with the cellular activities of the endometrium and embryo. This milieu probably fulfils the informational and nutritional needs of the developing embryo.
