Blood flow in the reproductive tract of the domestic hen following treatment with a pituitary gonadotropic inhibitor.
The effect of pituitary gonadotropic inhibitor--methallibure on the weight and blood flow through reproductive tract was studied in immature hens. It was found that methallibure lowers the weight of the reproductive tract and simultaneously inhibits (about 2--3 times) the blood flow through the ovary and oviductal segments. However, the action of methallibure is of short duration and it is limited to the time of its administration only.
