Quantitative evaluation of carbohydrate components present in lagomorph oviducts
Anatomischer Anzeiger
|January 1, 1989
Abstract:
Oviducts play a central role in many reproduction functions. We investigated, by means of biochemical analyses, the chemical composition of glycopeptides extracted from ampulla and isthmus of hare and rabbit. Our results showed that both Lagomorphs present a different qualitative and quantitative composition of the 2 oviductal segments. We conclude that the considerably diverse glycoconjugate composition would be related to marked diversities occurring during the fertilization process, the post-ovulatory phases and the pregnancy length.
