The effect of 3 doses of estradiol dipropionate (EDP) on tubal epithelium of immature ovariectomized rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) was studied under both light and electron microscopy. EDP at a dose of 5 microgram/kg/day for 6 consecutive days changed differentiation of the epithelial cells into clear and dark cell-types; ciliogenesis, formation of some ciliary buds and even a few cilia were also induced in some clear cells throughout the tubal epithelium. Development of ciliated cells with fully formed ciliary apparatus was accelerated at 10 microgram/kg dosage. The secretory granules (SG) appeared at this dose in some nonciliated cells of the infundibular and ampullary but not the isthmic segments of the tube; some of the infundibular secretory cells, so formed, exhibited even a tendency to secrete. Nearly complete maturation of the tubal epithelium occurred at 20 microgram/kg dose; further signs of secretory activity appeared in all tubal segments. The results indicated that--(i) Nearly complete transformation of tubal epithelium of the immature animal into one of the adult type could be achieved by EDP at a dose not less than 20 microgram/kg under the present conditions. (ii) The response of undifferentiated cells to EDP differed depending upon the location of the epithelial cell within the tube and nature of the cell-type to be formed. (iii) The mode of tubal secretion in this infra-human species was probably apocrine.
