Abstract
1. Seasonal variations in plasma retinol-binding holoprotein concentration have been found in two groups of entire ewes and in a control group of wethers (castrated rams).2. In each group retinol-binding holoprotein level was minimal in summer and increased to peak values in September just before the autumn breeding season.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
