Immunolocalization of relaxin in the corpus luteum of the dromedary camel. (Camelus dromedarius).
The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of the peptide hormone relaxin in ovarian tissues of the pregnant and non-pregnant dromedary (Camelus dromedarius). Using light and electron microscopy we here describe the presence of relaxin in cells of the corpus luteum at various stages of the reproductive cycle of this important species.
