“…The experiment indicates also that the placental influence on ovarian activity is entirely or predominantly systemic. This systemic luteotrophic action of the placentae might override any luteo¬ lytic effect of the mouse uterus, as has been suggested for the rat (Strauss & Lindner, 1969) and the guinea-pig (Deanesly, 1967). However, the experiments described above which demonstrate that the uterus has no effect on the life of the CL after placental removal make such an explanation unnecessary in mice.…”

No significant effects on the duration of subsequent oestrous cycles, the duration of pseudopregnancy or on the other characteristics of pseudopregnancy were observed after hysterectomy in albino mice. In pregnancy, except for a slight transient effect on Day 10, the residual duration of luteal activity (as measured by the duration of the extrauterine weight loss and the interval to oestrus) was independent of the presence or absence of the uterus and pregnancy was maintained by a single contralateral ovary associated with an isolated non-pregnant horn.
