Abstract
In 26-day-old adrenalectomized castrated [female][female] the homologue of the [male] ventral prostate is atrophied. In normal [female][female] of this age or in [female][female] which have been castrated or adrenalectomized the prostates show evidence of androgenic stimulation. Both the ovary and the adrenal at this age are evidently capable of producing a physiologically effective quantity of androgenic substance.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
