Characteristics and regulation of the ovarian cycle in Vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops)
Article Abstract:
The time course of ovarian and pituitary endocrine events throughout the menstrual cycle in the Vervet monkey and the role of circulating luteinizing hormone (LH) are evaluated. The characteristics and regulation of the ovarian cycle in vervets are similar to those in women with pituitary gonadotropin hormones that determine the cyclicity.
