Abstract
SUMMARY
By means of a chemical assay method [Edgar, 1953], progesterone was found in blood from the vein draining an active ovary in the pregnant and non-pregnant ewe and in the non-pregnant sow. It was not found in blood from the ovarian vein of a ewe with inactive ovaries, nor in peripheral blood of the pregnant and non-pregnant ewe, mare, cow, sow, and female rabbit, nor of the castrated ram.
The hormone was present in fluid from the mature Graafian follicle of the cow and sow, and in fluid from pathological ovarian cysts in the sow.
The progesterone content of corpora lutea from the sheep, calf and elephant was also determined.
