Distribution of an adenohypophysial constituent in the body. I. Wholebody autoradiographical studies in the mouse.
A peptide with a molecular weight of about 5 000 has previously been shown to affect the output of semen in frogs and probably also in mammals. This sperm-releasing substance is not part of any known gonadotropic hormone. The distribution of this substance has been investigated using whole-body autoradiography. Radioactive material is incorporated into the epididymis, the adenohypophysis and probably also into the ovary.
