Abstract
Uterine and vaginal weights and histologies are not altered by ovariectomy or estrogen treatment in the Asian musk shrew (Suncus murinus). In addition, ovariectomized shrews mate. Thus, the role of ovarian hormones in the control of the reproductive status of this species does not conform to the accepted mammalian pattern.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
