Four weeks or more after being spayed, cats were either left untreated or treated with various regimens of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) in silastic implants. Oviducts and uteri were then removed and examined for morphological changes as well as for the amount and compartmentalization of the estrogen receptor. E2 treatment restored a full complement of ciliated and secretory cells to the oviduct, and subsequent P treatment (with or without continuous E2) of an E2-restored oviduct produced an atrophied epithelium equivalent to that resulting from E2 withdrawal. In the uterus, P treatment after E2 priming did not lead to E2-withdrawal symptoms but rather to a new stage of differentiation characterized by altered and increased secretory activity. In both organs E2 caused dramatic elevations in the E2-receptor content in the nuclear as well as in the cytoplasmic compartments. Also (in both organs) P treatment after E2 priming reduced the E2-receptor content in the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments to the levels present in spayed cats. The degree of suppression caused by P in both organs was similar to that induced by E2 withdrawal. Suppression of the E2-receptor system by P correlated with suppressed function inthe oviduct but with increased growth and secretory activity in the uterus.
