Mammalian ovarian function is under endocrine and neural control. Although the extrinsic innervation of the ovary has been implicated in the control of both ovarian development and mature function, it is now clear that, from rats to humans, the ovary is endowed with a network of intrinsic neurons di

Human ovaries from different times during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and the post-menopausal state were examined by immunohistochemistry using an antibody to ligandin. The results showed that antiligandin was localized to those cells producing steroids and probably acts as an intracellular trans
Recently, it has been shown that the choroid of the duck eye harbours approximately 1,000 intrinsic choroidal neurons positive for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and neuronal nitric oxide synthase. Their connections and functional significance are largely unknown. This study was performed to esta
