[Superovulation induced by the administration of PMSG to mustelids].
In this paper, we have attempted to use the technique of superovulation in mustelids. Ermine (Mustela erminea) and several species of ferret (Mustela eversmanni, Mustela putorius, Mustela putorius furo [correction of hamster (Putorius eversmanni, Putorius putorius, Putorius putorius furo)] have been used as experimental models. We have conducted a detailed study of superovulation and early embryonic development in animals of these species treated with PMSG [correction of GPMS]. We have shown that superovulatory response is produced only in the right, but not in the left ovary of hormonally treated animals. Embryonic development in hormonally stimulated animals was accelerated as compared with animals that were reproducing under natural conditions. Perspectives and limitations in the use of hormonal treatment with the purpose to induce superovulation in mammals are discussed.
