The histopathological appearance of myelofibrosis of the bone marrow is described in aged castrated males, ovariectomized females and in male and female control NMRI mice. The highest incidence of the lesion was observed in ovariectomized and female control mice where more than 90% of the animals were affected. The presence of myelofibrosis in the bone marrow of ovariectomized females and castrated males indicates that estrogens may not play a major role in the development of the lesion and other hormonal disturbances must also be considered.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
