Nuclear transplantation in bovine embryo: fine structural and autoradiographic studies.

abstract：:Estrogen receptor (ER)- (alpha, beta, and both alpha and beta) and aromatase (Ar) knockout (KO) mice have been created to assess the biological effects of estrogens. This review article discusses the ovarian and uterine phenotypes of these mice. The data obtained have confirmed some older inferences about how the ster...
