Abstract
Morphometrical analysis of lymphoid organs has been performed 30 days after bilateral orchidectomy in Wistar rats. The percentage of thymus cortical area and of lymph node paracortical areas (filled with large lymphoid cells) has been found increased. These morphological changes seem to indicate that orchidectomy enhance lymph node cell-mediated immune response in the rat.
