Abstract
introduction MOORE, Hughes, and Gallagher (1930) made a comprehensive study of the effect of castration and male hormone replacement on the seminal vesicles of the rat. These investigators observed nuclear changes as well as reduction in cell height in the secretory epithelium following gonadectomy. Furthermore, the injection of testis extract brought about the lebuilding of degenerate vesicles to their functional condition. The epithelial cell height of seminal vesicle tissue is closely correlated with the level of male hormone present in body fluids. In this study observations were made on the action of male sex hormone on nuclear diameter, nucleolar changes, cell height, and mitotic activity of the secretoiy epithelium of seminal vesicles of sexually mature rats. Intact, castrate and hormone-treated castrate animals were used to obtain the cytometric data presented here. materials and methods A total of 114 male rats of the Holtzman-Rolfsmeyer strain was used in this investigation. At the time of gonad...
