[The ovarian histophysiology of the progeny in unilateral ovariectomy in rats].

The ovaries of rats which are progeny of females subjected to unilateral ovariectomy 1.5-2 months before mating were studied by methods of morphometry and histochemistry. The animals were divided into 3 age groups (5 days, 3.5-4 and 10 months). Their ovaries were shown to differ from gonads of rats in control groups. The differences were concerned with the main parameters characteristic of female gonads: their mass, amount of follicles, intensity of their atresia. Possible mechanisms responsible for the differences in question are discussed.
