Abstract
Although information exists on the morphological aspects of the immature and adult monkey testis (van Wagenen & Simpson, 1965; Baker, 1972) and peripheral plasma testosterone levels in the adult monkey (Goodman, Hotchkiss, Karsch & Knobil, 1974; Michael, Setchell & Plant, 1974), little consideration has been given to the functional postnatal differentiation of the testis in nonhuman primates. In the present study, therefore, we describe the histological changes and corresponding changes in testicular and plasma testosterone levels in the testis of young rhesus monkeys treated with HCG.
