Excretion of Androgens and 17-Ketosteroids in the Cebus Monkey Following the Administration of Testosterone Propionate

Abstract
Spectrophotometric analysis of the ketonic fraction of urinary extract of male Cebus monkeys submitted to Zimmermann''s or Pincus''reaction for 17-ketosteroids, fails to reveal the presence of this substance. Subcut. admn. of 50 mg. of testosterone propionate per day during 6 days is not followed either by appearance of 17-keto-steroids nor by an increase in androgenic activity of the urinary extracts.
