title: Uptake of labeled mammalian gonadotropins by ovary and oviduct of the lizard, Lacerta s. sicula, in vivo.
abstract: The uptake of radioactivity by ovary, oviduct and thigh muscles of the lizard, Lacerta s. sicula, after administration of labeled mammalian gonadotropins has been followed. Ovary and oviduct show a significantly higher radioactivity than thigh muscles. The ovarian uptake, moreover, is decreased by the corresponding non-labeled gonadotropin. The meaning of these observations for the physiological regulation of reproductive processes in that lizard, are discussed.
