ISSN/ISBN: 0019-5189 PMID: 2599552 Document Number: 328945
Bioassay of the pineal extract of F. pennanti was performed in immature female mice which was previously sensitized with human chorionic gonadotrophin. Reduction of ovarian and uterine weights indicated an antigonadotropic nature of the pineal gland of this animal.
