NUMBERS OF NORMAL AND ATRETIC OOCYTES IN UNILATERALLY SPAYED RATS

Abstract
A quantitative study of the number of oocytes at different stages of development in the remaining ovary of unilaterally spayed rats has confirmed earlier results reported by Arai. The ovary doubles in weight, and produces as many mature Graafian follicles as are found in the two ovaries of litter-mate controls. The number of primordial oocytes remains at the level normal for one ovary.
