Morphometric methods were used to measure abnormalities in histological architecture of the endocervix in ewes with infertility after prolonged exposure to oestrogenic clover pastures. Similar measurements were made on the cervix of ewes exposed to oestradiol-17 beta for 6 months. In both cases the changes in histological appearance were essentially similar, and were most easily measured by counting the number of cervical crypts. Ewes treated with either phyto-oestrogens or oestradiol also had significantly wider cervical folds, greater areas of lamina propria, and more cervical glands. The results provide a basis for measuring the severity of permanent oestrogenic change in different flocks or after different experimental treatments.
采用形态测量方法，对长期暴露于富含雌激素的三叶草牧场后出现不育的母羊子宫颈组织学结构异常进行测量。对暴露于17β-雌二醇6个月的母羊子宫颈进行了类似测量。在这两种情况下，组织学外观变化基本相似，通过计数子宫颈隐窝数量最容易进行测量。用植物雌激素或雌二醇处理的母羊也有明显更宽的子宫颈皱襞、更大的固有层面积和更多的子宫颈腺体。这些结果为测量不同羊群或不同实验处理后永久性雌激素变化的严重程度提供了依据。
