title: [Role of gonadotrophins in mediating the effect of progesterone. I. Histochemical and ultrastructural studies on the rat vaginal epithelium (author's transl)].
abstract: Progesterone induced alterations in the vaginal epithelium of the rat has been studied under the following experimental conditions characterized by an abundance of deficiency of gonadotrophins: ovariectomized impuberal rats, ovariectomized adult rats (at different periods following ovariectomy), impuberal rats subjected to ovariectomy and hypophysectomy (untreated and treated with FSH, LH, HCG).
