The effects of 6-hydroxydopamine, atropin and propranolol on avidin synthesis by the chick oviduct.
The systemic administration of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) induced avidin production in the oestrogen-primed immature chick oviduct, whereas atropin and propranolol had no effect on avidin levels. 6-OHDA also significantly potentiated avidin synthesis induced by local tissue damage.
