Abstract
Urine concentrates of 86 [female][female] who had missed one or more menstrual periods and who were passing through the early phases of the climacteric were tested on Xenopus frogs. No egg-extrusion response was found in the case of any patient tested. The use of the S. African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) in differentiating pregnancy from early menopause is suggested.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
