In the present report the effects of postpuberal gonadectomy on vomeronasal organ (VO) morphology were studied. Postpuberal gonadectomy induced in both male and female rats a decrement in the height of the epithelium and in the nuclear size of the bipolar neurons. These results show that the maintenance of neurosensorial normal morphology depend upon the activational effects of sex steroids.
在本报告中，研究了青春期后性腺切除对犁鼻器（VO）形态的影响。青春期后性腺切除导致雄性和雌性大鼠的上皮高度和双极神经元的核大小均减小。这些结果表明，神经感觉正常形态的维持取决于性类固醇的激活作用。
