Résumé

L'histochimie des enzymes de I'ovaire deMonopterus révèle la présence d'activités deshydrogénase hydroxystéroïde-3β dans les cellules granuleuses des grands follicules pendant la saison de la reproduction. Cela indique que les cellules granuleuses de ces follicules peuvent produire des steroïdes, peut-être des oestrogènes. Des cellules interstitielles de I'ovaire deMonopterus présentent aussi des réactions de deshydrogénase hydroxysteroïde-3β positives, mais il est impossible de décider si ces cellules produisent des androgènes ou des oestrogènes.
