## Abstract The effects of blinding on cellular structure and porphyrin pigment content were studied in Harderian glands of pinealectomized and non‐pinealectomized adult female golden hamsters. Uterine weights were used as a criterion for pineal activity. Five weeks post‐operatively, no significant

## Abstract Hamster (__Mesocricetus auratus)__ harderian gland (HG) is a dimorphic orbital gland producing a copious lipid secretion. Two cell‐types are present in hamster HG, type I in both sexes, type II only in males. In hamster HGs, we found a marked sexual dichotomy in the expression of uncoup
## Abstract The Harderian glands of the golden hamster were found, by a competitive binding assay using [^3^H]mibolerone as the ligand, to have a high affinity androgen receptor. In intact male hamsters, this receptor was present in both cytosolic and nuclear KCl‐extractable fractions. Castration o
The Harderian gland of the Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus aurutus) is unusual amongst rodents in the degree of dimorphism present. Other types of hamsters have Harderian glands which are apparently identical in male and female animals. Laboratory populations of Syrian hamsters are derived from very li
The Syrian hamster Harderian gland has been advocated as a model to study the porphyrin biosynthetic pathway, since it shows by far the highest porphyrin concentration known to date. Another particular characteristic is the sexual dimorphism at both the morphological and the biochemical levels. We f
