Abstract
Oestradiol induces uterine eosinophilia and oedema, both in the intact immature rat and in the adult ovariectomized rat. These responses are decreased in ovariectomized-adrenalectomized adult rats, in adrenalectomized immature rats and in medullectomized immature rats. Pre-treatment with L-epinephrine restored both oestrogenic effects. Insulin inhibits oestrogen binding by uterine eosinophils and concurrently decreases oestrogen-induced uterine oedema and eosinophilia. These phenomena do not occur with inactive insulin. Insulin also induces blood eosinopaenia, suggesting an explanation for the findings in the uterus.
