The present study was designed to examine the changes in bradykinin in the ovary during different stages of reproductive cycle in short-nosed fruit bat, Cynopterus sphinx. The site and intensity of bradykinin immunoreactivity showed variations in relation to the ovarian cycle and pregnancy. During ovarian recrudescence the bradykinin was mainy localized in the granulosa cells of both preantral and antral follicles.

Abstract


The present study was designed to examine the changes in bradykinin in the ovary during different stages of reproductive cycle in short-nosed fruit bat, Cynopterus sphinx. The site and intensity of bradykinin immunoreactivity showed variations in relation to the ovarian cycle and pregnancy. During ovarian recrudescence the bradykinin was mainy localized in the granulosa cells of both preantral and antral follicles.
