Abstract

Gonadotrophin and gonadal hormone injections performed on male ducks induce some changes in the activity of the subcommissural organ (SCO). Particularly LH, FSH and testosterone propionate injections are followed by a depletion of secretory material accompanied by increased activities of investigated dehydrogenases and acid phosphatase in SCO cells.
