Adult Indian wall lizards, Hemidactylus flaviviridis (Rüppell) with seasonally quiescent ovaries were treated either with ovine FSH or LH. Quantitative as well as histochemical observations revealed that only FSH could stimulate the ovarian growth and steroidogenesis whereas LH had no effect either on ovarian growth or on ovarian steroidogenesis.
