| Abstract: | Summary Pinealectomized and intact adult female white-footed mice were maintained outdoors from 28 November to 2 January. At the termination of the experiment, ovarian weight was significantly greater (p<0.02) in the pinealectomized group compared with that of the intact animals. Microscopic examination of the ovaries revealed that those of the intact animals had fewer and smaller follicles than those from animals which had had their pineal glands removed.Supported by NSF grant PCM 77-05734 and NIH grant HD 10202 through the Center for Research in Reproductive Biology Morphology Core. |
