Abstract
In the lizard Lacerta sicula sicula sex steroids induce the synthesis of avidin in the oviduct in vivo. These effects may be mediated, in vivo and in vitro, by RNA. In vivo, RNA from the oviduct of animals treated with estradiol plus progesterone caused a statistically significant increase in avidin content (P < 0.05).This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
