The dependency of the secretory function of the feline major vestibular gland (Bartholin's gland) on the ovarian steroid hormones was studied histochemically. After estrogen (estradiol-17 beta or diethylstilbestrol), progesterone or a combination of these was administered to cats which were previously ovariohysterectomized, the major vestibular glands were removed, embedded in paraffin, sectioned, and stained by alcian blue, periodic acid-Schiff or peroxidase-labeled lectin (peanut agglutinin and wheat germ agglutinin). The vividly positive reactions to the stainings applied were observed in the secretory epithelial cells of the major vestibular glands in the estrogen treated animals. The dependency of the secretory function of the major vestibular glands on the estrogen was demonstrated in this study.
通过组织化学方法研究了猫的大前庭腺（巴氏腺）分泌功能对卵巢甾体激素的依赖性。对先前进行过卵巢子宫切除术的猫给予雌激素（雌二醇-17β或己烯雌酚）、孕酮或它们的组合后，切除大前庭腺，石蜡包埋，切片，并用阿尔辛蓝、过碘酸-希夫试剂或过氧化物酶标记的凝集素（花生凝集素和麦胚凝集素）染色。在接受雌激素处理的动物的大前庭腺分泌上皮细胞中观察到对所应用染色的明显阳性反应。本研究证实了大前庭腺分泌功能对雌激素的依赖性。
