Oestrogen receptors in endometrial cytosol of gilts on days 10-13 of oestrous cycle and pregnancy

Abstract

Cytosolic oestrogen receptors (ER(c)) were determined with a Dextran-coated charcoal assay and Scatchard plot analysis in endometrial tissue of non-pregnant and pregnant gilts on Days 10-13 after standing oestrus. The Kd of the ER(c) was 0.40 +/- 0.04 nM (mean +/- SEM) and was not affected by day or reproductive state. The endometrial ER(c) concentration was affected by day and reproductive state (P
