	abstract = {Ewes that are heterozygous (I+) carriers of the Inverdale gene  (FecX) have increased ovulation rate, whereas ewes that are homozygous  (II) for the gene are infertile and have {\textquoteright}streak{\textquoteright} ovaries in which  normal follicle development does not occur. A proportion of ewes with  streak ovaries develop structures that have some characteristics of  ovarian tumours. We have monitored the growth of ovarian structures and  (c) assess the effectiveness of using hormone concentrations to identify  the genotype of individual ewe lambs.    No differences in hormone secretion related to differences in ovulation  rate were evident between I+ and non-carrier (++) Inverdale ewes (mean  ovulation rates 3.1+/-0.22 ng/ml) nor inhibin concentrations of  gonadotrophins were consistently elevated (FSH 16.9+/-1.8 ng/ml; LH  4.5+/-0.5 ng/ml; N+14) and were comparable to those observed in  ovariectomised ewes. In contrast, inhibin was always undetectable  (<3.0I.U./ml). These patterns of hormone secretion often change  markedly when ovarian structures develop, with inhibin concentrations  increasing acutely, which in turn causes FSH levels to fall.    To assess the potential of using these differences to identify II  genotype, Inverdale ewe lambs were blood-sampled at two, five or seven  months of age. Over 95\% of II Inverdale ewe lambs had genotype assigned  correctly (confirmed by laparoscopy) on the basis of plasma FSH  concentrations alone.   },

	abstract = {Because the enzyme catalase is involved in the peroxisomal pathway of fatty acid oxidation in the liver, it is possible that higher levels of catalase activity may be associated with higher levels of fatness. This was investigated in the high and low backfat Southdown sheep selection lines at Massey University. Liver biopsies were taken from 13 high backfat (HBD) and 14 low backfat (LBD) ewe hoggets with mean liveweight-adjusted ultrasonic backfat depths (LABF, expressed as percentage deviations) of +42\% and -20\% respectively. The HBD group had significantly higher (P<0.05) liver catalase activity (1944 },
