Description
Summary:It is recognised that oestrogenic action plays a central role in the physiology and biochemistry of avian reproduction. The hypertrophy and functions of the oviduct, the production of yolk material by the liver, and the involvement of the bony skeleton in the metabolism and transport of the materials of the egg yolk and egg shell are among the more obvious of the functions involved. These matters have been the subject of reviews by Lorenz (1954), Sturkie (1958), Urist (1959) and van Tienhoven (1959). They have also been the subject of various studies in this laboratory in the course of the past twelve years.
