The relative volume of cell nuclei (Vvn), cytoplasm (Vvc) and neuropil (Vvnp), as well as the numerical density (Nn) of nucleus basolateralis (NBL) amygdalea (amy) neurons were investigated using stereological methods in control and treated male rats. Newborn male rats were treated on the 5th day of life with 1.25 mg of progesterone (P) and sacrificed with the control group on the 62nd day of life. Stereological analysis showed a statistically significant decrease in the relative volume of neuropil (Vvnp) (p 0.001), while the numerical density (Nn) of NBL neurons of treated male rats increased compared to the Vvnp and Nv values of the controls
