Summary.
Forty-six, mature, New Zealand white does were used for collection of fluid from the Fallopian tubes. Ligation of the tubes into four isolated segments was carried out with minimal disturbance to the blood supply, using an operating microscope. The volume of fluid collected decreased from the fimbriated end to the utero-tubal junction.
Analysis of the chemical constituents of the fluid from the first three segments showed that the concentration of sodium, bicarbonate, inorganic phosphate, proteins and lactic acid increased significantly from the fimbriated end to the utero-tubal junction, while chloride concentration decreased significantly. These results support the possibility that the different segments of the oviduct may play specific roles in early events of reproduction.
Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
