FURTHER STUDIES ON THE ANDROMIMETIC FUNCTION OF THE IMMATURE MALE RAT ADRENAL1

Abstract
Complete castration atrophy was found in the ventral prostates of 26, 31, 36, and 41-day-old adrenalectomized castrated rats and in 36 and 41-day-old castrated non-adrenalectomized animals. The adrenals apparently have andromimetic capacity in the younger but not in the older animals.
