Abstract:
Unilateral adrenalectomy in recrudescent and breeding phases of the reproductive cycle caused atrophic changes in the ipsilateral testis, shown by inhibition of spermatogenic and steroidogenic activity of the ipsilateral testis. The contralateral testis showed compensatory hypertrophy. Unilateral adrenalectomy in regressing and quiescent phases of the reproductive cycle did not induce compensatory hypertrophy in the contralateral testis although there were atrophic changes in the ipsilateral testis.
