decidual cell response technique

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.10589

Biological test method in which pseudopregnant rats undergo a surgical treatment of the uterus to induce uterine differentiation and proliferation, resulting in massive tissue growth that mimics the response of the uterus during normal blastocyst implantation.

Note: Measurement of decidual growth during chemical treatment can be used to assess both hormonal status and uterine function. Uterine weight is a sensitive measure of the success of the decidual cell response.
