[The effect of initial hormonal status of recipient animals on morphological state and endocrine function of ovarian
Abstract:
The aim of investigation was a comparative analysis of morphofunctional characteristics of allografts of mature ovarian tissue and neonatal ovary depending on initial hormonal status of recipient animals. Rats' mature ovarian tissue and neonatal ovary were transplanted under renal capsule simultaneously with ovariectomy and 2 months later. Data analysis indicated that the development of ovarian tissue transplant was determined by its maturity and initial hormonal status of recipient. Mature ovarian tissue transplants preserve morphology and endocrine function to the 60th day after transplantation to the recipient animals with the initial hormonal status that corresponds to the norm. Neonatal ovary transplants are developed to the mature stage following transplantation to recipients with hormonal status that corresponded to the ovariectomized animals, that is, low concentration of sex hormones and an increased level of follicle-stimulating hormone.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
