of and less intense in the predecidual zone. When compared the intensity between untreated and treated animais, the later showed strongest reactions. The ultrastructural analyses showed the higher amount of lipid droplets inside decidual cel

of Indomethacin treated than untreated animais. These findings suggest the effective action of Indomethacin on decidual reaction and affected the lipid metabolism. The high storage rates of lipids in .the decidual cel

and predecidual cells strongly suggests that the phospholipid contents should be the precursor of PGs. Furthermore, the inhibition of PG biosynthesis affects the 'progression of cells already committed to decidualization
