[Morphologic examination of ovaries and liver after repeated administration of cyclophosphamide in therapeutic low doses to immature experimental rodents in various stages of individual maturity].
Liver and ovarian tissue samples of the immature healthy Wistar rats were examined histologically after administration of the repeated low doses of cyclophosphamide. The youngest experimental group was at the age of 7/14 days. Morphologic examination involved histochemical, histoenzymatic, morphometric and ultrastructural techniques. The observed changes in the liver tissue were minimal and totally reversible at time of animals maturity. Pathomorphological changes in ovaries were more evident and complex, concerning all structures of the gland. The dominant features of the damage included the disturbances of the physiological morphological maturation and the widespread hyperluteinization of all structures. In spite of the morphological changes, the activity of the hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases in ovaries remained unchanged.
