Changes in interstitial gland in the ovary of the bat Rinolaphus eurale Blas: arousal from hibernation.
The ovaries of 36 mature bats (Rinolaphus eurale Blas) were studied in March, June, and December. Quantitative determinations of the volume densities of the interstitial glands were studied. The histoenzymatic activities of NADH2 reductase and hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase showed the highest activity in the gland immediately after spring arousal.
