Abstract
The influence of testosterone propionate, 17.alpha.-methyl-testosterone and cyproterone acetate on isolation induced fighting behavior of mice was studied in a simple testing procedure. Decreased aggressiveness was established in mature, sexually experienced and isolated male mice both following castration and administration of the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate. Replacement therapy with testosterone propionate s.c. and 17.alpha.-methyl-testosterone p.o. [by stomach tube] restored the decreased level of aggressiveness after castration.
