Increased uterine vascular permeability in the mouse uterus as determined by the Evans blue dye method. A. Representative pregnant mouse uterus on Day 4.5 of pregnancy showing areas of bluing in segments of the uterus containing an implanting conceptus. B. Representative mouse uterus where one horn was exposed to an artificial deciduogenic stimulus while to contralateral horn served as a control. Ovariectomized mice were hormonally sensitized and artificially induced (intraluminal injection of sesame oil) to undergo decidualization as previously described (27). The Evans blue bluing reaction was determined 6 h after application of the artificial deciduogenic stimulus (sesame oil).
