Abstract
Data are presented on the growth rates over a 54-day period of immature, (1) normal (23 animals), and (2) ovariectomized (16 animals) rats contrasted with similar data on rats of the same age receiving intrasplenic ovarian grafts and divided into, (3) a group with no adhesions to the operated spleen (10 animals), and (4) a group with adhesions to the operated spleen (11 animals). The increased wt. gain exhibited by the ovariectomized animals is not attained by animals of group 4, but the wt. gain of group 3 animals is significantly greater than that of groups 1 and 4. Uterine wts. of animals of group 3 are significantly greater than those of group 2 and signifi cantly lower than those of groups 1 and 4. It is concluded that a complete inactivation of ovarian secretions affecting growth and uterine size was not attained after intrasplenic ovarian trans-plantation in immature rats.Keywords
