Abstract:

India's Institute for Research in Reproduction's annual report covers its activities during the period from April 1986 to March 1987. To further its goals of better understanding the biology of reproduction and clarify the ways different physiological mechanisms are integrated, the institute develops diagnostic tools, applies contraceptive technology at the individual and community levels, and attempts to understand infertility-related problems. In addition to summarizing the status of projects under way in reproductive immunology, neuroendocrinology, hormone assays, improving contraceptive acceptance, nonhuman primates, and 5 other research areas, the report highlights the institute's activities in support of research. A conference convened by the institute on biologically active proteins and peptides brought together the major investigators in protein chemistry to present current findings and develop a program integrating the synthesis, testing, and manufacture of biologically active proteins for research purposes. The institute isolated and identified a number of proteins that play a key role in regulating reproductive processes. It also organized 2 training courses in radioimmunoassay and held a symposium on endocrinology. The report concludes with a list of published studies and papers presented at conferences by institute members.
