Estrogenic effects of an antiestrogen, MER-25, on eating and body weight in rats.

Ethamoxytriphetol, MER-25, which acts as an estrogen antagonist on other estrogen-sensitive behaviors and in peripheral tissues, was found to be fully estrogenic with respect to eating behavior and body weight regulation. The MER-25 causes decreases in eating and weight gain that are not due to toxicity, as indicated by its failure to induce a learned aversion to saccharin and by its failure to alter spontaneous activity. Estradiol benzoate (EB) and MER-25 similarly affect eating and body weight in gonadectomized rats: Both cause a transient decrease in food intake and a permanent decrease in body weight relative to controls; the eating and body weight effects of both MER-25 and EB are attenuated by progesterone; and both MER-25 and EB affect females more than males. Because of its full estrogenicity, MER-25 fails to antagonize the effects of EB on eating and body weight while simultaneously antagonizing effects of EB on sexual behavior, the uterus, and the vagina. The results indicate that the systems mediating the effects of estrogens on eating and body weight differ biochemically from other behavioral and somatic estrogen-sensitive systems.

Oestrogenic activity of oestradiol-decanoate after oral administration to rodents.

Oestradiol-decanoate, dissolved in arachis oil and orally administered to rodents, produces oestrogenic effects. Compared on a molecular basis the ester has 0.1-1.0 times the activity of ethinyl oestradiol, dependent on the species and the parameter studied. The effects of oestradiol-decanoate are less or absent when the oil is omitted. It is likely that absorption of the steroid ester takes place via the intestinal lymphatics in conjunction with the oil.

Haemophilus vaginalis (Corynebacterium vaginale, Gardnerella vaginalis) in a family planning clinic population.

Vaginal specimens were obtained at 902 attendances from 522 women requiring vaginal examination at a family planning clinic. Haemophilus vaginalis was found in 8% of specimens either by culture or by at least two out of three microscopical tests; lactobacilli were seldom found in the presence of the organism. Increased signs and symptoms, especially an offensive odour, were found only when H vaginalis and staphylococcus were isolated together. The organism was found less often in patients using contraceptives methods which protected the vagina, thus suggesting sexual transmission. Treatment is advisable when H vaginalis is in contact with a vascular bed.

The embryologic development of the human vagina.

Our present understanding of the sequence and mechanisms of human genital organogenesis is reviewed. Current theories about the derivation of the vaginal epithelium are examined and tested against two anomalous circumstances, congenital androgen insensitivity and agenesis of the lower vagina, which are presented as examples demonstrating the respective participation of the urogenital sinus or of the Müllerian ducts alone in the developmental process. The abnormalities recently described in the vagina and cervix of girls exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol (DES) correspond remarkably with those encountered in lower vaginal agenesis, particularly with regard to the presence of vaginal adenosis, the deficiency of glycogen in the squamous cells (squamous metaplasia), and the abnormal response of the squamous epithelium to Schiller's iodine test. It is concluded that the development of the human vagina is best explained by the theory which holds that the Müllerian ducts in fetal life extend caudally to the level of the future hymen. After fusion of these ducts, squamous cells arising in the epithelium of the urogenital sinus invade from below, advance, and replace completely the Müllerian mucosa up to the level of the external os of the cervical canal.
