With a view to simplify the method of inducing superovulation in rabbits, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used as a solvent for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). As a result, it became clear that more than the equivalent number of ovulation points and fertilized ova that are obtainable by the conventional six injections of FSH were able to be obtained by only a single injection of FSH-PVP preparation. Inflammation or swelling of the tissue was not observed in the injection site or its vicinity. The results seem to enable simplification of superovulation induction by using PVP as a vehicle for FSH in rabbits. This finding could reduce injection distress to the animals and labor of the operator.

D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
