Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of different ovarian tissue volume on estrous cycle and body weight in rats. Methods Totally 67 10-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 6 groups according to removed different ovarian tissue volume after one week's acclimatization. Group A,sham operation group (n=12), Group B,the half of left ovary removed (n=12),Group C,the left whole ovary (n=12),Group D,the left whole ovary and the half of right ovary removed (n=12),Group E,the left whole ovary and the three quarters of right ovary removed (n=12),Group F,both left and right ovaries removed (n=7). The vaginal smear of the rats was monitored for 9 consecutive days at 4 weeks,8 weeks,and 12 weeks after partial ovarian resection,and the body weight of the rats was monitored on the day of surgery,4 weeks,6 weeks,8 weeks,10 weeks,and 12 weeks after surgery. The effects of the ovarian volumes on the estrous cycle and body weight of the rats were analyzed. Results There was a statistically significant difference in estrous cycle between the E group and the F group and the other 4 groups (P<0.05),and the estrous cycle days of Group E,Group F were higher than that of the other 4 groups. Rats of weight in Group F is higher than that in the other 5 groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Removed one and three quarters of ovary imposed an effect on the rat's estrous cycle, and bilateral oophorectomy imposed an effect on rat's body weight.
