Identification of sex-associated protein in the preputial gland of house rat (a new insight in rodent pest management)
Our recent findings revealed that the preputial gland of male house rat contains 20 kDa protein, however, the role of androgen in the production of this protein is not known. Hence, the present study was carried out to evaluate the androgen dependency of 20 kDa protein in the preputial gland of hous...
