Effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on blastocyst implantation and experimentally-induced decidualization were examined in the rat. Intraluminal injection of EGF into each uterine horn induced implantation in the ovariectomized progesterone-treated delayed implanting rat in a dose-dependent manner. This induction was inhibited by indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis. Intraluminal injection of EGF on day 5 of pseudopregnancy elicited a greater decidual response when compared to the vehicle-injected contralateral uterine horn. These results suggest that EGF may play important roles in the process of implantation and decidualization in the rat.
