Abstract
For animals of both sexes, the [female] hormone stunts the growth of young animals, increases the density of the bone shaft, accelerates epiphyseal closure, and increases the percentage of bone ash. Hence it depresses the parathyroid gland. The [male] hormone stunts the growth of the animal, diminishes the density of the bone shaft, diminishes the percentage of bone ash, delays epiphyseal closure, slightly increases blood Ca, but does not increase serum inorganic P.Keywords
