A comparative study of endometrial acid phosphatase activity in the mid-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and in the peri-implantation stage in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).
Acid phosphatase activity in both total and subcellular fractions of endometrium of rhesus monkey on day 5 of gestation was significantly (P less than 0.01) lower than levels found in tissues collected from normally menstruating monkeys on day 5 after ovulation. This endometrial response to preimplantation embryo may be related to the menstrual withdrawal in a fertile cycle.
