Summary
Estrogen-active tumors of the ovaries, differing in histological structure, were obtained in rats as a result of depression of ovarian function by X-irradiation, by transplantation of the ovary into the muscles of spayed female, or by subtotal ovariectomy. In rats with pre-tumor changes there was a rise in the gonadotropic activity of the hypophysis, while animals with developed tumors presented a reduction of hypophyseal activity. Induced tumors were successfully transplanted to spayed females with retention of estrogenic activity following transplantation.
