Title: Response of the genital tract to gonadotropin stimulation of the afollicular (x-irradiated) ovary in the beagle

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4062545

The morphologic response of the genital system in 16 beagles with afollicular (x-irradiated) ovaries has been examined following follicle and luteinizing hormone treatment. The dogs received a single brief exposure of 5 R daily or 10 R on alternate days from birth to 60 days of age (total 300 R). When the dogs were 7 months or older, the hormone treatment caused enlargement of the afollicular ovary and specific changes resembling proestrus in the oviduct and uterus; the vagina and vulva did not respond to the treatment.
