INDUCED OVULATIONS IN ADULT HYSTERECTOMIZED RATS

Summary.: The influence of the removal of the uterus and of the interruption of its vascular supply on the ovulatory response to pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) was studied in adult female rats. Both procedures significantly decreased the proportion of rats ovulating after PMSG/HCG treatment. In intact animals, the number of ova shed differed when PMSG was administered at different stages of the oestrous cycle but no such relationship existed in operated rats.
