Abstract
Testosterone propionate (2 mg daily) was found to increase the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) content in the hypophysis of both intact and gonadectomized male and female rats. Estradiol benzoate (2 [mu]g) strongly decreased the content if given alone, but did not modify the response if given with testosterone. Testosterone caused an increase in weight in intact females, a decrease in males, and no effect on gonadectomized animals.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
