Summary.
The ultrastructural changes of the endometrial stromal cells were quantified in twenty hamsters on Days 5, 6, 7 or 8 of pseudopregnancy. The mean percentage of cytoplasmic volume occupied by mitochondria, dense bodies, lysosomes and lipids each did not differ significantly during the 4 days (P>0·05). The quantity of rough endoplasmic reticulum was not significantly different on Days 5 and 6 (P>0·05), but significant increases occurred from Day 6 to Day 7 (P<0·001) and from Day 7 to Day 8 (P<0·001). The change in rough endoplasmic reticulum between Days 6 and 7 occurred during the stage of pseudopregnancy when the uterus influenced ovarian function.
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.
