Histochemical observations on the lipid changes in the ovarian interstitial gland tissue of rats.
Lipid changes were studied histochemically in the ovarian interstitial tissue of untreated and hormone-treated rats during the oestrous cycle, pseudopregnancy, pregnancy and lactation. The hormones tested were LH, prolactin and oestradiol benzoate, alone or in combination. Conspicuous lipid changes occurred only in response to LH.
