RESUMO
This project was designed to study the effects of hemicastration in male albino rats of different ages and weights. Significant compensatory hypertrophy was seen in young rats (5 and 20 days old). The concentration of seminiferous tubules was profoundly reduced while the tubular diameter was increased in young hemicastrated rats. The weights of the kidneys were increased while the weights of the adrenal glands were not different in hemicastrated young rats. These histological and histometrical changes may be associated with specific endocrine activity.
