Özet

Recently it has been shown that the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptors (EGF-R) are expressed in uterus in many mammals, (Tamada et al., 2000). Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a low molecular weight polypeptide with 53 amino acids and is known to stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation in a wide range of tissue. EGF is thought to have important functions in epithelial growth and differentiation. (Tsutsumi et al., 1986). Substantial evidence has been accumulated suggesting that these growth factors play important role in embryo development and implantation (Paria et al., 1993). The objective of the present study was to determine sialoadenectomy and exogenous EGF administration effects on uterinal EGF-R expression and ultrastructural changes in a rat model.
