Popis: | Five strains of mice were examined for pheromonal facilitationof HCG-induced ovulation. Significant facilitation of both the percentage of mice ovulating and the average number of ova released was obtained in the SJL/J, the SWR/J and the C3H/HeJ strains. Two of the five strains tested, i.e., the DBA/2J and the C57BL/6J strains, failed to show a pheromonal facilitationof HCG-induced ovulation. An increased number of ova per mouse ovulating also was exhibited in two (SJL/J and C3H/HeJ) of the three strains that showed facilitation.A comparison of the five strains for pheromonal facilitation of either PMSGinduced ovulation (previously reported by us) or HCG-induced ovulation indicates that the three strains (SJL/J, SWR/J, C3H/HeJ), that exhibited facilitation when treated with PMSG, also showed facilitation when treated with HCG. |
