“…However, the dynamics of endometrial secretion have not been satisfactorily examined ; for example, there are no acceptable estimates of the daily volume of endometrial secretion in either man or laboratory animals. It has been shown in the rat that when part of the uterus is isolated by ligation, fluid accumulates in the lumen at ovulation and that this is reabsorbed at the time of implantation (O'Shea, 1972). The secretory activity of the mouse endometrium is high at ovulation but is greatly reduced before implantation when the uterus becomes absorptive (Datnow, 1973).…”

Summary Data concerning endometrial secretory activity are reviewed in relation to synthesis, storage and release during the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle. It is concluded, contrary to current thinking, that both production and release of secretions are greatly reduced as progesteronal activity is established and that the major changes observed in the post‐ovulatory endometrium result from retention of small quantities of secretion. Consideration is given to the implications of this new concept.
