Steroid binding to feather follicles in the chicken
Journal of Endocrinology, 1986ABSTRACT Steroid binding profiles in chicken feather follicles were studied in vitro. Progesterone and promegestone were bound specifically with high affinity (dissociation constant = 7·79 nmol/l in females and 2·0 nmol/l in males) and with low capacity to the high-speed supernatant fraction (cytosol) of homogenized feather follicles.
