ON THE ANDROMIMETIC ACTION OF THE ADRENALS OF IMMATURE HYPOPHYS-ECTOMIZED-GONADECTOMIZED RATS

Abstract
The admn. of ACTH alone or in combination with ICSH, FSH or luteotropin did not increase the weight of the accessory sex organs of the hy-pophysectomized immature male rat. The ACTH dosage doubled the weight of the adrenal glands. The quantities of androgen released by the adrenal in this expt. must have been very small.
