Development of the foetal membranes in the cane rat (Thryonomys swinderianus): a re‐interpretation
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology, 1991-06)The morphogenesis of the foetal membranes of the African cane rat (Thryonomys swinderianus, Temminck) was studied and compared with that of the caviomorphs from South America. Like the guinea pig and chinchilla, implantation ... -
Progesterone and 5B-pregnanediol production by isolated fetal placental binucleate cells from sheep and goats
(University of NairobiFaculty Of Veterinary Medicine, 1991-05)Enzymic dispersion and density gradient separation were used for the isolation of enriched populations (60-90%) of cells from the corpus luteum, placenta and peripheral blood of pregnant sheep and goats. Analysis of the ... -
