Influences of gonadal and adrenal androgens on the side glands of Suncus murinus.
In order to know the contribution of adrenal and gonadal androgens to the development of the side gland of Suncus murinus, we studied the effects of gonadectomy and adrenalectomy on gland thickness and the plasma levels of testosterone, androstenedione (delta 4-dione) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA). In males, castration decreased gland thickness to 71% of the control. The plasma levels of del...

ED50 values, latencies and frequencies were not significantly different between the two administrations. Cis-diaqodiammineplatinum (DAP), an active metabolite of cisplatin, also induced emesis, but with s...

The musk shrew, Suncus murinus, is an induced ovulator, the cumulus oophorus of which is unusual in several respects: it has no matrix, it always induces the acrosome reaction and it appears to be essential for fertilization. The present study documents distinctive features of the cumulus oophorus before and after ovulation, and of copulation-induced maturation of the ovulatory follicle, which ...
