Abstract
Young ovariectomized mice were transplanted with ovaries obtained from either neonatally estrogenized or normal mice at different ages. Cyclic estrus ensued in 71% of the mice receiving ovarian grafts from 3โmonthโold normal donors. If donors were 12, 15 and 20 months old, cyclic estrus took place in 15, 10 and 0% of the recipients, respectively. By contrast, after transplantation of ovaries from neonatally estrogenized mice, aged 3, 12 or 15 months, cyclic estrus occurred in about 42โ48% of the recipients regardless of the age of donors. Three of 17 recipients receiving ovarian grafts from 20โmonthโold neonatally estrogenized donors still showed cyclic estrus. Therefore, in neonatally estrogenized mice, decline of ovarian responsiveness to circulating gonadotropins appears to be inhibited or delayed until at least 15 months of age.
