Fallopian tube and ovarian hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons of the human ovary and Fallopian tube have been studied by temperature-programmed gas chromatography. The major compounds present are a series of n-alkanes (C16 to C40), with the addition of iso and anteiso hydrocarbons. The human ovary and Fallopian tube hydrocarbons did not show significant changes during the menstrual cycle.
