title: Antigonadotropic activity of pineal gland of the Indian palm squirrel Funambulus pennanti.
abstract: Bioassay of the pineal extract of F. pennanti was performed in immature female mice which was previously sensitized with human chorionic gonadotrophin. Reduction of ovarian and uterine weights indicated an antigonadotropic nature of the pineal gland of this animal.
