Summary

Sexually mature and immature rats kept for a long time on a diet deficient in protein (1.5% protein) were fed a control diet of 19.5% protein content. The functions, relative and absolute weight of the ovaries were restored. The microscopic structure of the organ was restored, likewise the growth processes and follicular differentiation were resumed. In comparison with the period of dificiency the number of oocytes markedly increased.
