title: [The sexual cycle in reflexively ovulating rabbits].
abstract: Reflexo-ovulating rabbits appeared to have oestrous and ovarian 11-12-day cycles. The condition of external sexual organs revealed the hormonal status and ovarian folliculogenesis, being an adequate index of the cycle stage. No release of preovulatory gonadotropin or spontaneous ovulation occurred in natural oestrus due, probably, to inadequate production of the pituitary gonadotropins and to low progesterone level in the blood during oestrus.
