Changes in the cell surface of vaginal epithelial cells were studied by scanning microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Microvilli which are prominent features of the vaginal epithelial cells in proestrus and diestrus are replaced by sheet-like structures in the estrus phase. Surface morphology of vaginal epithelial cells of estradiol primed rat resembles the vaginal cells from estrus phase rats whereas vaginal cells from control rats resembles the diestrus phase. Measurement of the fluidity of the membranes indicated that the vaginal epithelial cell membrane of estrus rats is more fluid compared to proestrus and diestrus. Similarly, estradiol primed immature rat vaginal epithelial cell membrane was observed to be more fluid than the corresponding control.
