Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how hormonal deprivation affects the extracellular matrix in the penises of neutered cats compared to intact cats.
- Researchers collected 27 penile samples, conducting histomorphometric analysis to examine various tissue parameters, such as elastic and collagen fiber density.
- Results indicated that neutered cats had significantly lower elastic fiber density and higher collagen fiber density, suggesting reduced tissue compliance which may contribute to urethral obstructive disease.
