Lysosomal enzymes in spontaneously dystrophic rats (SDR) which were derived from
spontaneously hypertensive rats were studied biochemically and histochemically. The total and …

This study was undertaken to confirm whether early pregnancy factor (EPF)-like substance (s)
was secreted by fertilized bovine ova. Using the rosette inhibition test, EPF-like substance (…
