THE INFLUENCE OF SEX HORMONES ON THE UPTAKE OF Zn65 BY THE DORSOLATERAL PROSTATE OF THE RAT

Abstract
The administration of testosterone propionate had no influence on the rate of uptake of radioactive zinc in the dorsolateral prostate of albino rats. However, the total uptake was greater than in controls due to the increase in the size of the gland. Estradiol benzoate treatment tended to reduce the rate of accumulation of Zn65 in the gland.
