Abstract
Coitus on the 9th day of pseudopregnancy was not followed by rapid depletion of gonadotropic material in the pituitary as was the case with estrous rabbits, suggesting that the failure of ovulation of the pseudopregnant rabbit may be due to some failure in mechanism normally causing the discharge of the gonadotropic material from the pituitary.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
