ABSTRACT 6-chloro-17α-acetoxy-pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione in daily doses of 0.1 mg effectively stimulated ovulation in the Japanese quail. Daily doses of 10 mg were inhibitory. Two other steroids, 6β-chloro-6α,7α-difluoromethylene-17α-acetoxy-pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione and acetoxyprogesterone were also...

Summary: | ABSTRACT 6-chloro-17α-acetoxy-pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione in daily doses of 0.1 mg effectively stimulated ovulation in the Japanese quail. Daily doses of 10 mg were inhibitory. Two other steroids, 6β-chloro-6α,7α-difluoromethylene-17α-acetoxy-pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione and acetoxyprogesterone were also effective ovulation stimulators. The most effective dose was 1 mg daily for both compounds. Norethindrone in amounts of 0.1 mg and 1 mg per day blocked egg laying. |
