Abstract

Fetal fluid was studied in mice of the Q, C57BL/McL, C3H/Bi/McL and JU/Fa strains. The amount increases to day 16 of gestation, and then decreases. Amniotic fluid and fetal plasma contain three transferrins, five alpha-fetoproteins and albumin. Protein concentration in both increases during gestation; glucose decreases in amniotic fluid although it rises in fetal plasms; urea levels remain constant. The regulation of volume and biochemical composition of amniotic fluid, and its relation to the yolk-sac membrane, are discussed.

Abstract

The relation of extra-embryonic fluid weight to litter number and foetal and placental weight was studied in mice on the 18th day of pregnancy, in litters both of experimentally reduced and of normal number. Partial regression analysis showed that litter number and foetal weight both exerted a negative effect on fluid weight; placental weight had no significant effect. Increased foetal weight reduced weight locally; on the other hand the effect of litter number was exerted systemically, throughout both horns of the uterus.
