Popis: | Studies of the induction of superovulation by exogenous gonadotrophins have been made in various rodents (Rowlands & Parkes, 1966). Generally, it has been accepted that pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin (pmsg) acts to stimulate follicular growth, preparing the follicles for ovulation, thus mimick¬ ing the endogenous follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh), while the subsequent human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg) acts like the luteinizing hormone (lh), to stimulate the release of ova from the matured follicles. However, hcg injection is unnecessary for the release of ova from properly primed follicles (Zarrow & Quinn, 1963). The present study demonstrates that superovulation |
