One to eight weeks after autotransplantation of isolated endometrial or myometrial tissue into the eyes of rabbits the transplants were found to contain higher renin concentration than the tissue in situ . Castration‐resulted in a marked decrease, and subsequent estradiol treatment in a significant increase in the renin concentration of the grafts, as well as of the tissue in situ. Renin is thus formed in both endometrial and myometrial tissue of the rabbit uterus . Grafts of ureter and of renal artery contain the same, extremely low, concentrations of renin as these tissues in situ . The iris from eyes grafted with endometrium contained renin, while this was not the case in eyes with myometrial grafts.
