Quantitative studies on the effects of hormones on structure and porphyrin biosynthesis in the harderian gland of the female golden hamster. II. The time course of changes after ovariectomy.

The Harderian gland of the golden hamster is an important model of porphyrin biosynthesis. In the female, ovariectomy leads to changes in porphyrin production and gland structure. The present study demonstrates that these changes are progressive and independent of age and environmental factors which... View More
