Effect of isologous pineal transplants on tumorigenesis of autologous intrasplenic ovarian transplants in Swiss mice.

If increased secretion of gonadotrophins causes ovarian tumorigenesis in the spleen, one can find ways to control the secretion of gonadotrophins so as to prevent the tumor formation. Pineal is the one gland whic.....
