Increased number of mast cells in the testis of neonatally estrogenized rats.
The presence of increased numbers of mast cells in the testis of adult neonatally estrogenized rats is reported. The histometric study revealed significant differences between control and estrogenized animals for two ages considered (45 and 90 days). This increase might be related with the development of connective tissue in estrogenized rats.
