Summary The stromal tissue of the prostate in normal castrated dogs and castrated and oestrogen treated dogs were studied by quantitative morphological methods. Quantitative morphological (=stereological) procedures provide values of volume, surface and number of tissue and cell components. The stereological data show an activation of the smooth muscle cell of the stromal tissue in the oestrogen treated dog compared with the control group; related to the unit volume of smooth muscle cell cytoplasm, a threefold increase of the endoplasmic reticulum was observed in castrated and oestrogen treated dogs.
