Abstract:Aim. To assess the effect of 30-day dark deprivation on functional and histomorphometric changes in adenohypophysis gonadotropic endocrinocytes and their reversibility in mature male rats.Materials and methods. Mongrel white male rats (n = 36) weighing 365–375 g at 4 months of age were randomly divided into three groups (each n = 12). For 30 days the control group was in automatic light-dark mode 12/12, and the rats of experimental groups 1 and 2 were in round-the-clock artificial lighting (24/0, 300 Lux), the… Show more
