Regular cyclic changes in the functional
activity, histology and weight of the secondary
female sexual organs are known to be dependent on the
sex hormones.

Mammary cycles in the unmated female mammal
have been described in the rat by Meyers (52), and
Sutter (67), in the guinea pig by Loeb and Hisselberg
(48), in the cow by Hammond (33), and in the human by
Dieckmann (23).

Vaginal cyclic changes are known to occur in
certain species of animals. Marshall (51) and
Hammond and Marshall (34) described such changes in
the ferret. Loeb (47), Stockard and Papanicolow
(66) and Voss (68) studied these phenomena in the
guinea -pig. Lataste (45), Long and Smith (50),
Morau (54), Long and Evans (49), and Allen and Doisy
(2) described them in the mouse and rat.

Uterine cyclic changes, however, occur in all
classes of mammals. These changes are of a very
profound character, and this fact suggested that
the estimation of the oxygen consumption of the uterus
would offer an indication of the mode of action of the
endocrine secretions which brought about the changes.
The investigations described below were carried out
by the writer in order to study the effect of the sex
hormones on the oxygen consumption of the isolated
uterus. Mice and rats were chosen as experimental
animals, because the vaginal smear technique of Long
and Evans (49) and Allen and Doisy (2) offered a simple method of diagnosing the various stages of the
oestrous cycle in these animals.

These investigations have been carried out in
two parts: Part I - The Estimation of the Oxygen
Consumption of the Isolated Uterus during the various
Stages of Sexual Development, and also during the
different Stages of the Oestrous Cycle, and
Part II - The Estimation of the Oxygen Consumption
of the Isolated Uterus in Animals to which the various
Sex Hormones had been Administered.
