    Abstract

    Regardless of the side of hemiovariectomy, unilateral lesion placed in the right-side medial anterior hypothalamus suppressed ovarian compensatory hypertrophy, but the lesion made in the left side failed to suppress it. This suggests the presence of a hypothalamic laterality in regulating gonadotropin secretion.
