Abstract
Orchidectomy increased the endogenous concentration of prostaglandin F (PGF) in the prostatic and vesicular glands of adult rats. A single intramuscular dose of free testosterone (5.0 mg/100 g) was able to reverse the effects of castration on PGF concentration of the accessory reproductive organs. In the case of seminal vesicles, administration of testosterone to castrate rats markedly reduced the PGF levels within 144 h of hormone treatment.Keywords
