Structural, ultrastructural and immunohistochemical evidence of testosterone effects and its ablation on the bulbourethal gland of the Artibeus planirostris bat (Chiroptera, Mammalia)

Highlights • The castration affect the bulbourethral glands promoting the regression in the gland secretion. • The castration decrease the cell proliferation and incrfease the apoptosis in the bulbourethral gland. • The castration effects were reversible following the testosterone supplementation....
