## Abstract Cell division stops in mouse blastocysts during the prolonged, freeβliving phase associated with delayed implantation. It is not known how the embryos are rendered mitotically dormant and then reactivated to implant at a later time, and the present experiments were undertaken to determi

## Abstract Blastocysts were collected from the uteri of intact or ovariectomized mice and incubated with or without actinomycin D in a medium containing [^14^C] amino acids. In the absence of actinomycin D the rate of amino acid incorporation by blastocysts from intact mice (i.e., normal embryos)
The transient embryonic diapause associated with delayed implantation in mice is characterized by decreases in the rates of synthesis of RNA and protein as well as a cessation of development. The present experiments were undertaken to examine the possibility that controls on protein synthesis at the
## Abstract The resumption of DNA synthesis in delayed implanting mouse embryos undergoing metabolic activation in vitro was examined. Blastocysts were recovered from ovariectomized mice, incubated for various intervals in basal Eagle's medium, exposed to ^3^Hβ thymidine, and prepared for light mic
