Photoperiodic Influcence on the Morphology and the Androgen Receptor Level of the Ventral Prostate Gland and Seminal Vesicles of the Djungarian Hamster (Phodopus sungorus)

Abstract: The influence of long (light:darkness LD 16:8) and short (LD 8: 16) photoperiods on the morphology of the ventral prostate gland and the seminal vesicles of the Djungarian hamster was investigated. At LD 8:16, the wet weight of the glands was reduced to 15-20% of the values found in animals living in LD 16:8 conditions, the protein content was reduced to 3 4 % . The glands showed distinct signs of atrophy and inactivity under shortday conditions. The androgen receptor levels were determined in both accessory … Show more
