| Month after ovarian transplantation1 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

1
During the 2nd and 4th months, most recipients were pregnant or pseudo-pregnant. Therefore cyclicity was followed in a limited number of animals and not presented.
2
Normal = Normal estrus cycles
3
One of the recipients died at 8th months post-transplantation in PND 8 and PND 21 groups respectively.
4
Two females showed persistent estrus in PND 21 group.
