PG - 175-9 AB - In our previous study, triphenyltin chloride (TPTC1) was found to induce implantation failure, as preimplantation embryonic loss, in rats. In this study, the effects of TPTC1 on the uterine function, as a cause of implantation failure, were determined using pseudopregnant rats. Female rats were given TPTC1 by gastric intubation at 3.1, 4.7, and 6.3 mg/kg on pseudopregnant day (PPD) 0 to PPD 3 and the decidual cell response was induced on PPD 4. The uterine weight on PPD 9 served as an index of uterine decidualization. A significant decrease in the uterine weight, which indicates suppression of the uterine decidualization, was detected at 4.7 and 6.3 mg/kg. In our previous study, these doses induced a significant increase in implantation failure in female rats given TPTC1 on gestational day (GD) 0 to 3. The ovarian weight and number of corpora lutea in the TPTC1-treated groups were comparable to that of the controls. A significant decrease in serum progesterone levels after administration of TPTC1 was found at 4.7 and 6.3 mg/kg. These findings suggest that implantation failure due to TPTC1 may be mediated via the suppression of uterine decidualization and correlated with the reduction in serum progesterone levels.
