| Research Abstract |
NO production and its regulation involved in the uterine endometrium and placenta were examined in pregnant rat. NO productions level peak on gestational day 17.5 (GD17.5)and GD15.5 in the endometrium and placenta, respectively. These NO productions were mainly derived from induced NO synthase in the tissues. Inhibitor of NO production caused apoptosis through typical apoptotic signals in the endometriumu on GD17.5, suggesting that an NO peak in the endometrium is essential to cell survival and the maintenance of uterine formation.
