ABSTRACT
The artificially induced rat deciduoma serves as a model to study cellular changes associated with implantation in the endometrium. The stromal cells differentiate to form two types of decidual cells and are restricted to specific anatomical sites of the uterus. Programmed cell death starts in the antimesometrial area and expression of glutathione-S-transferase, an antioxidant enzyme, enhances in these cells as the deciduoma enters the regressive phase. The enzyme activity is significantly high compared with that of mesometrial decidual cells. Similarly, lipid peroxide content of antimesometrial decidual cells is high during this phase. DNA fragmentation, a feature of cells undergoing programmed cell death, is initiated in the antimesometrial area during regression of deciduoma.
