Morphological, morphometric and stereological study of submandibular glands in rats with lesion of the anteroventral region of the third ventricle (AV3V).
Lesions of the antero-ventral region of the third ventricle induce in the rat submandibular gland parenchyma, atrophy through vascular ischemia, and simultaneously increased fibrosis of the connective tissue, probably by alteration of the pituitary gonadotropins (FSH, LH), thyrotrophic hormone (TSH), growth hormone and probably insulin levels.
