Studies conducted on reproductively active, captive\u2010maintained animals established that <jats:italic>G. soricina<\/jats:italic> also has polarized ovaries, with the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) restricted to the medial side of the ovary, and primordial follicles limited to an immediately adjacent zone. Follicles selected for further development are recruited from the medullary side of this zone, and ovulation is restricted to the portion of the ovary covered by the OSE. To further develop <jats:italic>G. soricina<\/jats:italic> as a model for studying ovarian development and physiology, ovaries were collected from fetal, neonatal, and adult females and processed for morphological and immunohistochemical analyses. The latter included staining for factor VIII\u2010related antigen (von Willebrand factor) to assess regional differences in ovarian vascularity. The ovarian structure in fetal and neonatal animals was very similar to that in other species that do not have polarized ovaries at comparable stages of development. This indicated that polarization of the ovary does not occur during fetal development, but rather sometime between the neonatal period and adulthood. Vascular elements were abundant in areas of the ovary surrounding early growing follicles, but sparse in the zone of the ovary containing primordial follicles. The polarized nature of the ovaries in <jats:italic>G. soricina<\/jats:italic> suggests that this species might be used as a model to investigate the formation, long\u2010term maintenance, and activation of primordial follicles, and the role of the OSE in ovulation and folliculogenesis.
