The total protein and collagen content of the uterus was determined in both the immature and adult ovariectomized rat administered 5 μg estradiol-17β for 4 or 5 consecutive days. In the immature rat, this treatment results in a 3-fold increase in the collagen content of the uterus. This increase is linear following the first three doses of estradiol-17β and appears to reach a maximum after approximately 5 days. The total protein of the uterus also increases uniformly throughout the experimental period; therefore, the per cent collagen in total protein remains essentially unchanged. These results suggest that the increase in the collagen content of the uterus of the immature rat administered estradiol-17β is due to a general stimulation of protein synthesis. The administration of either estrone, diethylstilbestrol or 17-ethynylestradiol-3-methyl ether to the immature rat also causes collagenous and non-collagenous protein to accumulate in the uterus. There is a significant loss of noncollagenous protein from the uterus of the adult rat 21 days after ovariectomy, which is only partially restored by the administration of estradiol-17β for 4 consecutive days. The collagen content of the uterus is also reduced markedly and does not increase upon administration of estradio l17β.
