Abstract excerpt
We have tested the hypothesis "that the ovulation rate in homozygous carriers (BB) and noncarriers (+2) of the Booroola FecB gene would not be different if the plasma concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the two genotypes were similar." For this purpose we used two experimental animal models: 1) the hypothalamic-pituitary disconnected (HPD) ovary-intact ewe; and 2) and GnRH agonist (i.e.,...
