Six months after unilateral orchiectomy, there was a significant increase in the RNA and DNA content of contralateral testes as compared with the testes of age-matched normal guinea pigs. The ratio of RNA to DNA was not affected by orchiectomy, suggesting that the compensatory growth was secondary to hyperplasia rather than hypertrophy. Tritiated thymidine uptake by the contralateral testis was elevated at 2 weeks and 2,4 and 6 months after orchiectomy, confirming that increased metabolic activity occurred in the remaining testis after hemicastration.
单侧睾丸切除术后六个月，与年龄匹配的正常豚鼠的睾丸相比，对侧睾丸的RNA和DNA含量显著增加。RNA与DNA的比例不受睾丸切除术的影响，这表明代偿性生长是增生而非肥大的结果。在睾丸切除术后2周、2个月、4个月和6个月时，对侧睾丸的氚标记胸腺嘧啶摄取量升高，证实了半侧睾丸切除术后剩余睾丸的代谢活性增加。
