Morphometric indices of gonadotropic cells obtained from adenohypophysis of white rats, both males and females,
were investigated after treatment with alpha-tocopherol and synthetic antioxidants. The former stimulated
the functional status of gonadotropic cells revealed in a proportional increase in both nuclear and cytoplasmic
volumes. After the treatment with a synthetic antioxidant dibunolum, the volume of the cytoplasm increased in
gonadolropic cells of rats of different sexes. After the treatment with a water-soluble antioxidant emoxipinum,
the volume of the cytoplasm in gonadotropic cells increased only in males. The outcomes allow to consider
alpha-tocopherol, in contrast to from synthetic antioxidants, as one of the modulators of the functional
state of gonadotropic cells obtained from adenohypophysis.
Key words: antioxodants, alpha-tocopherol, emoxipinum, dibunolum, gonadotrophic cells
