Oviductal Retention of Embryos in Female Mice Lacking Estrogen Receptor α in the Isthmus and the Uterus.

abstract：:Although many studies have investigated the complex interrelationships between thyroid hormone levels and insulin-glucose secretion and action, there is at present a lack of information concerning the effects of various thyroid hormone levels on insulin receptors. In the present study, rat liver membranes were prepare...
