Abstract
SUMMARY Some aspects of the hormonal control of the oviduct in the lizard, Lacerta sicula Raf., have been studied. Ovariectomy performed before the breeding period, prevents the annual oviduct growth. In ovariectomized females the administration of either estradiol or testosterone induces a significant increase in oviduct growth. These effects seem to be temperature-dependent. These observations confirm that the endocrine activity of the ovary plays a critical role in the regulation of the oviduct.
