Hormonal profiles (progesterone, LH) were studied in eleven Baoule females in the hot and humid pre‐rainy season.

The LH basal level was 1.48 ± .50 ng/ml. The mean duration and maximum concentration of the preo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
