Ovariectomy
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) While estradiol levels were equivalent in these two groups, the rise in LH after ovariectomy was prevented by the immediate administration in the pseudo-intact rats, while the augmented plasma LH levels present three weeks following ovariectomy were only reduced by 50% as a result of delayed estradiol treatment.
(2) Decreased levels of receptors for estradiol-17beta, progesterone, and prolactin were found in the tumors remaining after ovariectomy while treatment with the dose (24 mug) of RU 16117, efficient to inhibit tumor growth, has a similar inhibitory effect on the levels of estradiol-17beta and prolactin receptors.
