Abstract
Kainic acid lesion of the medial preoptic area resulted in the impairment of the thermoregulation and disruption of the reproductive cycle in female rats. The preoptic-anterior hypothalamic area from fetal donor was transplanted into the lesioned area ofthe host. After transplantation, these animals showed signs of estrus cyclicity and a recovery in basal temperature towards normal. They also showed a reduced shift of body temperature on exposure to a hot environment. Thus the female rats, which received transplantation, showed some degree of recovery of functions which were disrupted by kainic acid lesions.
