Abstract
A comparative histophysiological study on the levator ani of intact, castrated and testosterone-treated castrated guinea pigs and rats was carried out. On the basis of histochemical and biochemical data it was shown that some dehydrogenases and alkaline and acid phosphatases of this muscle in both animals were androgen-dependent to a varying degree. The androgen-dependent effect is manifested by the levator ani irrespective of its fibre types.
