Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the relative contributions of FSH and testosterone in the initiation of testicular growth and function in primates. Four groups (n = 4/group) of juvenile rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta), 12–18 months old, were treated with vehicle, a highly purified human FSH preparation (hFSH; Fertinorm, 3 IU/kg per day), testosterone (testosterone enanthate, 125 mg/week) or FSH plus testosterone, for a period of 12 weeks. Compared with vehicle treatment, the administration of hormones significantly (P P P Journal of Endocrinology (1993) 136, 235–243
