The effects of a potent antioestrogen—ICI 46,474—on cl were examined in pregnant and pseudopregnant rabbits and pregnant rats. In the rabbit, the antioestrogen interfered with the growth of cl, reducing significantly both the number and weight of the glands. In the pregnant rat, the weight of the cl was reduced and this was associated with a marked stimulation of mammary glands. These experiments provide further evidence that cl in the rabbit, and perhaps in the rat, require oestrogen for their functional maintenance.
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.
