Abstract At a certain period of the sex cycle an enzyme with hyaluronidase action is secreted by the female reproductive system (oviducts and uterus); its activity is highest during the period of estrus. The possible role of the hyaluronidase of the oviduct in the physiology of fertilization is postulated. A new source for obtaining hyaluronidase preparations, the uterine mucosa of sexually mature animals, is suggested. These preparations have specific activity and are nontoxic.
