It has been suggested that the sensitivity of ewes to the negative and positive feedback effects of oestrogen can be related to the rate of ovulation of the breed (Land, 1976; Land, Wheeler & Carr, 1976), and may be associated with different patterns of oestrogen secretion as inferred by Land, Thompson & Baird (1972). However, no apparent differences between the concentrations of oestrogens in jugular venous plasma from ewes with differing rates of ovulation have been reported (Bindon, Blanc, Pelletier, Terqui & Thimonier, 1975; Scaramuzzi & Land, 1976). The pulsatile nature of the ovarian secretion of oestradiol (Baird, Swanston & Scaramuzzi, 1976) and the fact that the concentrations of oestrogen in peripheral plasma are so
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
