Traumatization of an isolated segment of the ferret uterus on Day 12 of gestation (the day of implantation) results in the development of a maternal pregnancy reaction at the site of the trauma. This reaction consists of the formation and subsequent necrosis of symplasmal nests of endometrial epithelial cells and hypertrophy of the maternal capillary endothelium, and the cytology is identical to that of the endometrial reaction in the placental region of the uterus during normal pregnancy (Beck, 1974). The development of a maternal pregnancy reaction at times during gestation other than Day 12 has not been investigated and the present study was therefore undertaken to see whether a sensitive period existed.
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.
