Effect of the Treatment with Dexamethasone, for 10 and 15 Days, on the Fertility in Induced Rats to Polycystic Ovaries, by Constant Illumination
The present study had the objective of obtaining information about fertility in rats treated with dexamethasone for 10 and 15 days consecutively, to polycystic ovaries, induced by constant illumination. It was used 40 albino rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus), aged 90 days, form the lineage Wistar, wh...
