Changes in uterine phosphatase levels in mice deprived of LH during early pregnancy.
Mice injected with normal rabbit serum on Day 4 of gestation showed a progressive increase in specific alkaline and acid phosphatase activities on Days 6 and 7. Mice injected with antiserum to LH on Day 4 showed a significant decrease in specific alkaline phosphatase activity estimated biochemically on Days 6, 7 and 8, but this decrease was histochemically evident only on Day 8. Similarly, acid phosphatase activity in antiserum-treated mice was significantly increased on Days 6, 7 and 8 when estimated biochemically, but only on Day 8 when studied histochemically.
