ABSTRACT
Adult female rats with normal oestrus cycles (control), ovariectomized (OVX), ovariectomized with estradiol treatment (OVX-EB) and ovariectomized with progesterone treatment (OVX-P), were provided with Glucose (G/W) or Saline (S/W) through a two bottle preference. They were given food pellets ad libitum. At the end of 3 weeks' period the animals were sacrificed and pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and pancreas were removed and weighed. Adrenal glands showed a significant decrease in OVX and OVX-P rats taking G/W, as also decrease in OVX and OVX-EB and increase in OVX-P rats taking S/W. The pancreas registered an overall increase in OVX, OVX-EB and OVX-P rats taking both G/W and S/W, which was statistically significant only in OVX-EB and OVX-P rats. Ovarian hormones appear to influence the size of these glands when glucose or sodium chloride is ingested.
