Abstract
SUMMARY: 1. Glutamic pyruvic transaminase and fat content of the liver in male and female rats were determined at intervals after a single injection of carbon tetrachloride. 2. The female rats were more susceptible to the toxic agent in both the degenerative and regenerative phases. 3. Pretreatment of the female rats with testosterone propionate reduced the greater susceptibility and stimulated regeneration.
