The temporal relationship between embryonic attachment and endometrial vascular permeability was investigated in the gilt. Light and electron microscopy failed to reveal structural differences between Day 10 cycling and pregnant maternal epithelia, including evidence of blastocyst contact. Chorionic adhesion was preserved at mesometrial regions in 3 of 5 Day 13 pregnant animals and appeared to be related to localized differentiation of the underlying maternal epithelium. In order to study uterine vascular permeability, 44 gilts between Days 11 and 19 of the cycle and pregnancy were injected i.v. with a 0.5% solution of Evans Blue (2.5 ml/kg body weight). Examination of excised uteri under ultraviolet light revealed a well-defined zone of endometrial fluorescence corresponding to extravascular content of the dye. Exclusive to pregnant gilts, this response appeared in conjunction with blastocyst elongation at Day 12, and was consistently confined to areas of embryonic membrane contact thereafter. The changes in endometrial morphology and vascular permeability suggest involvement of some embryonic factor(s) acting in a localized manner. Increased histotrophe production is probably facilitated by the flux of plasma constituents to maternal epithelial cells. Coincidence of increased uterine vascular permeability at the site of attachment with elevated blood flow would enhance transport of nutrients toward the conceptus and allow access of blastocyst-induced products to the maternal circulation.
