“…In the primate, whose reproductive cycles are of relatively long duration, the uterine glycogen is maximal at the secretory phase (VanDyke & Ch'en, 1936;Zondek & Stein, 1940) but, in the rodent, with short, frequent cycles, the uterine glycogen synthesis is dependent on oestradiol (Bo & Atkinson, 1952;Rosenbaum & Goolsby, 1957).…”

“…There are also species differences as regards the two tissues. For instance, the glycogen content of the rat and mouse myometrium is higher than that of the endometrium (Leathern, 1959), but there is twice as much glycogen in the en¬ dometrium of the non-pregnant rhesus monkey as in the myometrium (Van Dyke & Ch'en, 1936). The data reported in this paper demonstrate over twice as much glycogen present in the endometrium of the pregnant rhesus monkey as in the myometrium.…”

Slices of uterine muscle from pregnant rhesus monkeys, Macaca mulatta, were incubated in medium containing [1-14C]glucose and [6-14C]glucose. The Qo2, glucose uptake, and lactate and CO2 production were similar at 92 days (55% of gestation) and 155 days (93% of gestation). The data suggest that glycolysis is a more important pathway in pregnant rhesus myometrium than in skeletal muscle. However, only about 0\m=.\2% of the glucose uptake could be accounted for by oxidation via the pentose cycle. Glycogen appeared to be important as an energy reserve during myometrial growth. There was an increase in glycogen levels from the 54th to the 92nd day of gestation but no evidence that the glycogen level or turnover rate increased near term. The low respiratory quotient (0\m=.\7) and the small amount of [14C]glucose oxidized to CO2 by way of the citric acid cycle (less than 2% of the glucose uptake), plus the fact that only 5% of the respired CO2 was produced from [14C]glucose suggest that the major energy-source for resting myometrium is lipid rather than carbohydrate.

“…The presence of glycogen in the vagina has been demonstrated in man (Miura 1928;Gisbertz 1930;Cruikshank and Sharman 1934;Lison and Vokaer 1949), the monkey (Corner 1923;Miura 1928;van Dyke andCh'en 1936a, 1936b), the guinea pig (Tribby 1943), and the mouse (Biggers 1953a). Also Raynaud (1941) has described the deposition of glycogen in the urogenital sinus of the mouse embryo.…”
