Definition:
(a.) Inversely ovate; ovate with the narrow end downward; as, an obovate leaf.
Example Sentences:

(2) Changes occurred in the concentrations and secretion patterns of P4 in the OBOV during and around the second trimester of gestation that were not reflected by P4 in the JV nor by LH and FSH in either vessel.
(3) Intensive sample collections (every 20 min for 6 h, short-term sampling windows) were performed from the jugular vein (JV) and the OBOV.
(4) There was no difference between the OBOV and JV for either LH or FSH, whereas the concentration of P4 in the OBOV was higher than in the JV for all periods.
(5) Samples were collected from the OBOV twice daily at 0600-0800 h (AM) and 1700-1900 h (PM).
(6) The profiles of the dependence of ATPase activity on KCl concentration were essentially the same for both phases, while bending of the time curve was scarecly observed obove pH 8 for Ca-2+-ATPase or at pH 6 for EDTA-ATPase.
(7) The average and baseline concentrations of P4 in the JV as well as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the OBOV and JV remained constant from Day 70 to Day 210 of gestation.
