Yolk androgen deposition in two passerine species: Do females play favorites?
(2008-09-09)
Eggs of oviparous species contain variable amounts of androgens, such as testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and androstenedione (A4). Previous studies in birds show that yolk androgens of maternal origin have ...
Multivariate Analysis of Chlamydia pneumoniae Lung Infection in Two Inbred Mouse Strains
(2009-02-23)
