Summary

We have studied the influence of ovariectomy on the oxidative activity of hypophysis, hypothalamus, posterior cortex, septal area, amygdala and adrenal glands, in female hamsters, because their neuroendocrine behavior seems to differ from that of rats. Our results show a decreasing the O2 uptake in the hypothalamus and adrenal glands and an increase in the rest of the structures.
