title: Secretory activity and histoenzymological characteristics in the subcommissural organ of hormone-injected ducks, Anas platyrhynchos.
abstract: Gonadotrophin and gonadal hormone injections performed on male ducks induce some changes in the activity of the subcommissural organ (SCO). Particularly LH, FSH and testosterone propionate injections are followed by a depletion of secretory material accompanied by increased activities of investigated dehydrogenases and acid phosphatase in SCO cells.
