The proliferative behavior of the human Fallopian tube epithelium.
Using autoradiography after in vitro administration of tritiated thymidine a low grade of DNA synthesis had been found to take place in the epithelium of the human Fallopian tube in reproductive and postmenopausal age. No synchronization was found to take place in the menstrual cycle. There seems to be no relationship between tubal renewal and the endogenous hormones of the reproductive system in the human.
