Effects of postpuberal gonadectomy on the neurosensorial epithelium of the vomeronasal organ in the rat. 1984

S Segovia, and R Paniagua, and M Nistal, and A Guillamon

In the present report the effects of postpuberal gonadectomy on vomeronasal organ (VO) morphology were studied. Postpuberal gonadectomy induced in both male and female rats a decrement in the height of the epithelium and in the nuclear size of the bipolar neurons. These results show that the maintenance of neurosensorial normal morphology depend upon the activational effects of sex steroids.
