HORMONAL CONTROL OF ENZYME ACTIVITY DURING THE PLASMA MEMBRANE TRANSFORMATION OF UTERINE EPITHELIAL CELLS

Ultrastructural and light microscopic catalytic histochemical methods were used to study the distribution and changes in distribution of four phosphatase enzymes; alkaline phosphatase, 5′‐nucleotidase, thiamine pyrophosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase in uterine epithelial cells in response to the ovarian hormones, oestrogen, progesterone or a combination of both used in different regimes on ovariectomised rats. Reaction product for all four enzymes was clearly localised in the epithelial cells, especially with oestrogen priming. However, the four enzymes showed markedly different patterns of organisation of reaction product in response to other hormonal treatments.
