reproductive system
• abnormal primary decidual zone (PDZ) development at 6 dpc
• PDZ was absent in some implantation sites with the embryo entrapped within the intact epithelium at 6 dpc
|
• uteri either failed to show or had very weak endometrial vascular permeability at the site of blastocyst attachment at 5 dpc
• unattached blastocysts were recovered from uteri at 5 dpc
• defects in crypt formation
• some blastocysts situated within the primary lumen
|
• only 29% of plug-positive females produce a (small) litter
• high resorption rates on 12 dpc
|
• in the few fertile mice
