Abstract
The female of the species Praomys (Mastomys) Natalensis has a ventral prostate similar both in position and in histological appearance to the ventral lobe of the male prostate. The hormonal uptake of this female prostate has been investigated using (3-H) testosterone and (3-H) oestradiol. The results showed that the uptake of these steroid hormones by the prostate was identically to our findings in the male prostate. The potential value of a female prostate in prostatic research is discussed.Keywords
