Glygogen Wet Weight and Dry Weight Changes in the Vagina of the Mouse

Abstract

(i) 'rho subcutaneous or intravaginal administration of oestrone to the ovariectomized monso causes an increase in the dry weight of the vagina with a maximum at full keratinization. ~rhe water content of the tissue is increased in the pre-keratinization phase, and reduced in the keratinization phase. 'rhe true glycogen content, of the vagina does not, increase until keratinization eommenees.

Unexpected Role of Physiological Estrogen in Acute Stress-Induced Memory Deficits

“…2 E ). Seeking a second, independent biological marker of estradiol levels, we determined uterine weights, which have been shown to fluctuate across the estrous cycle and depend on systemic estrogen levels ( Balmain et al, 1956 ; Galloa et al, 1986 ; Lemini et al, 2015 ). Uterine indices (uterus weight (g)/body weight (g) × 100) of mice entering proestrus were greater than those in estrus ( t (23) = 7.52, p < 0.0001; Fig.…”
