beta -galactosidase concentration in the fluid which accumulates within the ovarian bursa of the rat at the time of ovulation was found to be 7.5-fold greater than its concentration in plasma. The accumulation of the enzyme in bursa fluid suggests that lysosomal enzymes may be released from follicle walls during ovulation and washed into the bursa by the exudation of fluid through the surface of follicles.
