Enzyme Histochemical Localization of Peroxidase Activity in the Oviduct of Immature, Laying and Non-laying Hens

Peroxidase may play roles in innate host immunity and affect the sperm survivability in hen oviduct. The aim of this study was to localize the peroxidase activity in the oviduct of hens and to examine whether the activity is affected by the developmental stages of the oviduct. The oviducts were co...
