Ependyma of the goat. Part IV. Ependymal lining of the median eminence in goats under physiological and experimental conditions.
The sexual differentiation of the ME ependymal lining surface structure has been proved in goats. Suitable hormonal preparations applied to females during anestrus induced on the median eminence the same picture as that during estrus. Only after gonadectomy in both the females and males there were dense macrophages-like SEC on the ME protruding from the deeper layers of the eminence. Their potential function is discussed.
