title: Role of mesovarium and mesosalpinx in counter current exchange of hormones.
abstract: On the base of own studies with counter current transfer of steroid hormones and PGF2 alpha and the data taken from the literature it is suggested that two parts of broad ligament of the uterus i.e. mesovarium and mesosalpinx are not only morphological structures keeping the ovary, oviduct and ovarian vasculature, but that they may take part in hormonal regulation of the ovarian function.
