Abstract excerpt

Intrauterine implantation of fertilized ova can be blocked by exposing recently inseminated females with an unfamiliar male. This selective pregnancy failure, designated as the Bruce effect (Bruce, Nature 1959; 184:105), is well studied in laboratory mice and has been confirmed in several other rodent species. However, no clear information exists concerning this phenomenon in the laboratory rat. The present study...
