Abstract
Large amts. of progesterone and of progestin given to castrate [male] rats maintain or stimulate the prostates and, to a lesser extent, the seminal vesicles. These sexual accessories increase in wt. with such treatment and display cytological evidence of secretory function. An increase in size of the clitoris can also be obtained with progesterone.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
