The morphology of fetal gonads of spontaneous mouse hermaphrodites.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gonads of 107 spontaneous, chromosomal mosaic, day-15 fetal hermaphrodites derived from BALB/cWt strain male mice are described and photographs of seven gonads representative of the major types are presented. There were 16 ovaries, 15 testes, and 183 ovotestes. The ovotestes contained on the average more testicular tissue than ovarian, and the ovarian tissue was more frequently located at the gonad poles, particularly the craniad pole. There was no difference between left and right sides with regard to gonad type, but more pure gonads were found on the left than on the right side (21/10), Meioses were observed throughout the ovarian tissue and also in some testicular cords, particularly in the caudad pole of the gonad. Some meiotic figures contained sex vesicles. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to several aspects of sex determination.

Growth pattern of the sex ducts in foetal mouse hermaphrodites.
In this report the morphology of the gonads and the growth of the Wolffian and Müllerian duct in foetal mouse true hermaphrodites (16 days p.c.) have been studied and compared to that of normal mice. The ducts from the hermaphrodites were placed in one of five groups according to the proportion of male and female characteristic of the gonad. When more than 85% of the gonadal tissue was masculin...
متن کاملEmbryo Toxic Effects of Depleted Uranium on the Morphology of the Mouse Fetus
AbstractAlthough the biokinetics, metabolism, and chemical toxicity of uranium are well known, until recently little attention was paid to the potential toxic effects of uranium on reproduction and development in mammals. In recent years, it has been shown that uranium is a developmental toxicant when given orally or subcutaneously (SC) to mice. Decreased fertility, embryo/fetal toxicity inclu...

P-26: The Effects of Interferon-Gamma onCarbamazepine-Induced Fetal Malformations inMouse Fetus
Background: One in every 250 newborns is exposed to antiepileptic drugs, inutero .The risk of congenital malformations in newborns, prenatally exposed to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), is around 5% which is 2 to 2.5 times that of general population; while carbamazepine (CBZ) and valproate (VPA) still provide the treatment of choice in most forms of epilepsy, being efficacious in approximately two-...
