Summary.
The percentage of ciliated cells in the luminal and glandular epithelia of endometrial samples from sixty-eight normal women has been studied. Although the concentrations of ciliated cells found in the luminal epithelium tended to lag behind and below those found in the glandular epithelium, no significant difference was found between the absolute percentages of ciliated cells in each site.
The number of ciliated cells increased during the proliferative phase to reach a maximum of around 20%. This was maintained during the ovulatory phase, and then declined. The hormonal basis of this variation is discussed.
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.
