Distribution of radioactivity after incubation of tissues from the reproductive tract a. 32.9 38.0 Ejaculatory duct 34.3 22.9 52.8 73.4 a Mean percentages of radioactivity recovered from media. Estrogens were examined separately. 6.1 8.0 9.5 5.8 Take Home Message Target tissues in the reproductive tract of the boar not only respond to estrogens but actually convert them to conjugated forms which are inactive and easily removed.
