This project was designed to study the effects of hemicastration in male albino rats of different ages and weights. Significant compensatory hypertrophy was seen in young rats (5 and 20 days old). The concentration of seminiferous tubules was profoundly reduced while the tubular diameter was increased in young hemicastrated rats. The weights of the kidneys were increased while the weights of the adrenal glands were not different in hemicastrated young rats. These histological and histometrical changes may be associated with specific endocrine activity.
本项目旨在研究不同年龄和体重的雄性白化大鼠半阉割的影响。在幼鼠(5日龄和20日龄)中观察到显著的代偿性肥大。半阉割幼鼠的生精小管浓度显著降低,而管径增加。半阉割幼鼠的肾脏重量增加,而肾上腺重量无差异。这些组织学和组织计量学变化可能与特定的内分泌活动有关。
