Adrenal morphology and hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzymes in normal and intersex goats.docVIP

ADRENAL MORPHOLOGY AND HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASE ENZYMES IN NORMAL AND INTERSEX GOATS Univevsity of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada A morphology in 6 intersexes with that of normal aduItTgoats and kids indicated that the total size of the adrenal in the intersexes was much reduced as com- pared to that of adults. The intersex goats resembled week-old kids in total size and in cortex to medulla ratio. Histometric analysis on the relative thickness of the outermost cortical zone (zona glomerulosa) and the two inner zones (zona fasciculata and zona reticularis) revealed tha
