Abstract
The histologic features of the endometrium of Macacus rhesus monkeys under treatment with the ovarian hormones have already been described by one of us (Hisaw1). We have had the opportunity to make cytological studies involving the use of various special stains upon specimens from 4 uteri under the influence of the ovarian follicular hormone (oestrin) and upon specimens from 6 uteri under the influence of the corpus luteum hormone (corporin). The monkeys used were castrated immature or young adult females, and the dosage and duration of treatment were sufficient to produce the histologic pictures in the endometrium which have been described (Hisaw1) as characteristic of oestrin or of corporin stimulation.Glycogen. Special staining methods do not ordinarily reveal the presence of any glycogen in the endometrial epithelial cells during treatment with pure oestrin. However, minute traces of glycogen may be found occasionally in the basal ends of some cells following prolonged treatment with large doses of oe...
