Abstract
The [male] sex hormones are definitely nephrotrophic for both normal and gonadectomized [male] and [female] rats and have no harmful but rather a beneficial effect unless given in excess to normal [female] rats. Estrogens, on the other hand, may cause peculiar cyst-like degenerative changes in the kidney.Keywords
