[Lymphatic vessels in the uterus of aging nulliparous and multiparous mice].
The morphological changes in the uterine lymphatics in aging nulliparous and multiparous mice, as shown by the application of dyestuffs (patient blue violet and Japan ink) are described, and their appearance corresponds to that described in earlier papiers by Fabian (1976, 1977, 1978). It is apparent on the basis of these findings that with the cessation of the sexual cycle, the previous regularly repeated morphological changes in the mouses uterus move into another stage, and associated with this the lymphatics inevitably take part in the aging process. According to Lindner (1975) this is essentially a dynamic process, rather than one which is purely passive, dengerative or involutional.
