Abstract
ABSTRACT
In order to determine whether the secretion of androgen by the ovary of the adult rat increases after X-irradiation, irradiated ovaries were implanted into castrated male litter-mates, and pieces of prostate into both X-irradiated and normal female rats.
The grafts of irradiated ovaries failed to vascularize and grow, and did not appear to secrete androgen, as judged by the weight of the accessory sex organs of the male hosts. The results of these experiments were therefore considered inconclusive.
On the other hand, the structure of the prostatic grafts removed from female hosts indicated that the circulating level of androgen was higher in the irradiated than in the non-irradiated animals.
