Sixty-nine nulliparous rats aged 607–1156 days and forty-six multiparous rats aged 614–1071 days were examined.
The incidence of mammary tumours, hyperplasia of the mammary glands, enlargement of the pituitary, and occurrence of excessively large corpora lutea, were strikingly higher in the virgin than in the breeding animals. The nulliparae also tended to be heavier, and to possess larger ovaries and adrenal glands than did the parous animals.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
