Functional denervation was confirmed by histochemical examination of the oviducts. These procedures failed to disrupt normal transport rates of ova as indicated by oviductal ovum recovery rates at 48 and 72 h following HCG injection. However, estrogen-induced ‘tube-locking’ of ova and progesterone-induced acceleration of ovum transport were partially antagonized by depletion of neurotransmitter from the intrinsic adrenergic nerves of the oviduct. These data suggest that the effects of sex steroids on ovum transport are partially mediated through adrenergic processes.","PeriodicalId":75889,"journal":{"name":"Gynecologic investigation","volume":"5 3","pages":"121-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000301646","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15264349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statististically significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between levels for term males (123 pg/ml) and term females (63 pg/ml) and between less than 20-week males (176 pg/ml) versus less than 20-week females (60 pg/ml). However, the hormone levels between term males and less than 20-week males were not significantly different from each other, and, similarly, levels between term females and less than 20-week females were not statistically different. In this study, the sex of 37 out of 38 male fetuses and 19 out of 19 females less than 20 weeks gestation could be correctly predicted solely on the basis of amniotic fluid testosterone levels. The implications are apparent for genetic counseling by using this rapid methodology for intrauterine sex determination instead of, or in addition to, full chromosome analysis.","PeriodicalId":75889,"journal":{"name":"Gynecologic investigation","volume":"5 5-6","pages":"317-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000301665","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15563429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
