Summary.

The position of mouse eggs in the reproductive tract was determined following the administration of various doses of reserpine by the intraperitoneal route on Day 1 of pregnancy. High doses caused arrest of egg transport, while lower doses caused delay. The possibility that reduced hormone secretion is responsible was investigated by administration of ovarian, hypophysial and thyroid hormones. The failure of these various treatments to reverse the reserpine-induced arrest of egg transport suggests that alterations in hormone secretion are not the primary cause of the arrest.

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
