| Popis: | Objective To relate the histological characteristics and histochemical Δ5−4-isomerase-3 beta hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (Δ5−43β-HSD) activity of the corpora lutea (CL) and the atresic vitellogenic follicles (AVF) with progesterone (P4) plasma concentrations in three different times of gestation (early, medium and late) in the viviparous lizard Sceloporus mucronatus (S. mucronatus). |
