Pre-implantation loss was determined by comparing the number of implantation sites with the respective number of corpora lutea.
The embryo recovery rate from the four females was 87.9% of the total number of corpora lutea.
This model was selected for study over the mature rat ovary which contains simultaneously developing follicles, ovulatory follicles, and corpora lutea.
Positive correlated responses were found for number of corpora lutea and number of live fetuses.
The stage of the estrous cycle was defined by careful examination of the ovaries (follicles and corpora lutea).
The corpora lutea were visualized with the aid of a low-power dissecting microscope.
Total corpora lutea were also analysed with the covariate 10-week body weight included in the model.
Adjusting corpora lutea number for body weight reduced the correlated response but did not eliminate it.
