Open full text 6 citations

Abstract

Summary. Following suppression of plasma LH titres in castrated male rats by various doses of testosterone propionate, a more rapid return to pretreatment levels was seen when a period of 8 (or 5) weeks intervened between castration and onset of treatment. This effect was not related to differential retention of testosterone in the circulation.
