Abstract
Male rats subjected to right nephrectomy, right adrenalectomy and left adrenal enucleation failed to regenerate adrenal tissue and develop hypertension as observed in the female rat. Testosterone (200 mg/rat/ day) administered to operated female rats inhibited adrenal regeneration of the enucleated adrenal and development of hypertension. It caused a reduction in the blood pressure of ovariectomized, hypertensive, operated female rats. Castration was not effective in promoting adrenal regeneration or hypertension in the male rat.Keywords
