On the biosynthesis of testicular steroids in vitro and its inhibition

Zusammenfassung Der Seitenkettenabbau von C₂₁-Steroiden zu Androgenen in Rattentesteshomogenat erwies sich abhängig von der Konzentration der Vorstufen und konnte durch gewisse Pyridinderivate präferentiell blockiert werden.     

Pigeons homing: Some experiments for testing the olfactory hypothesis

Summary Homing experiments on Swiss pigeons show that the birds use olfactory cues for navigational purposes and that outward journey detours influence their initial orientation.This work was supported by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche and by the Swiss National Foundation for Scientific Research.     

Histochemical and ultrastructural modifications of mice endometrium, vagina and pituitary following zeranol treatment

The histochemical and ultrastructural changes produced by zeranol treatment on the endometrium and the gonadotropic FSH cells of the adenohypophysis have been investigated in mice at the prepuberal and virginal stages. Modifications similar to those induced by estrogen treatment were observed. It is concluded that both estrogens and zeranol share the same activity on the tissues examined.
