## Abstract The avian embryo is an excellent model system for experimental studies because of its accessibility and ease of microsurgical manipulations. While the complete chicken genome sequence will soon be determined, a comprehensive germ cell transmissionβbased genetic approach is not available

This paper presents a summary of experimental studies which utilized the White Leghorn cockerel, Gallus domesticus, as a suitable avian model for a detailed analysis of the mode of action of the seco-steroid vitamin D. It is now apparent that there exists a complex endocrine system which coordinates
Experimentation has been carried out to study proliferation of plasma cells in the chicken Harderian gland (HG) and to determine if a HG factor influences immune cell (i.e., B cell) proliferation. In young chickens, flow cytometric analysis of propidium iodide (PIkstained plasma cells revealed that
## Abstract Seasonal regression of the avian song control system, a series of discrete brain nuclei that regulate song learning and production, serves as a useful model for investigating the neuroprotective effects of steroids. In seasonally breeding male songbirds, the song control system regresse
## Abstract The arginine vasotocin (AVT) system of the avian brain includes a sexually dimorphic part that extends from the caudal part of preoptic region through the medial part of the bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BSTm) to the lateral septum. It is composed of the parvocellular neurons located
