Postovariectomy bone marrow changes in irradiated and unirradiated wistar rats.
Bilateral ovariectomy of Wistar rats has per se a stimulative effect on the myeloid tissue, determining a hypercellularity of this organ-tissue. On the other hand, under the conditions of a whole-body irradiation with a single dose of 800 r X-rays, bilateral ovariectomy manifests a protective effect on the myeloid tissue preventing the development of hypoplastic, respectively aplastic modifications.
