[Changes in the uterus morphometric parameters in prenatally stressed rats].
The effects of immobilization stress from 15th to 18th days of gestation on morphometric parameters of the adult offspring uterus were studied. The results showed that there were no changes of endometrial morphometry in respect to oestrous cycle in 3-month prenatally stressed female. Prenatal stress decreased the myometrium thickness in oestrus and diestrous owing to circular muscle layer. These data suggested that influence of prenatal stress on morphometric parameters of the rat uterus was induced by disturbance of sex steroid secretion.
