TI  - Sex difference in volume of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus in the 
      rat.
PG  - 277-80
AB  - The volume of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMN) of normal male 
      rats was significantly greater than that of normal female rats. Castration of day 
      1 neonatal males significantly reduced the volume of the VMN to a level 
      comparable with that of normal females. However, the VMN volume was no longer 
      influenced by castration on day 7. Injection of 1.25 mg testosterone propionate 
      to 5- to 15-day-old females did not have any significant effect on the volume of 
      the VMN. These results indicate that the volume of the VMN is sexually dimorphic 
      and is modified by internal secretion of neonatal testes.
