Abstract:
Studying the morphological and morphometrical aspects of corpora albicantia at different phases of the postmenopausal period, the authors observed that, until five years after menopause, the fibroblasts were developed, and later in this period of life, the number and activity of these cells are diminished. It is suggested that the description of corpora albicantia in atrophic ovaries of postmenopausal women occurs owing to a decrease of remodelling fibroblastic and macrophagic activity, or connective tissue substitution, made by these cells under physiological conditions.
