Abstract
Summary
A single injection of 25, 100, or 1000 μg of testosterone propionate given 24 or 48 hr prior to the administration of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) plus various doses of FSH altered the slope of the logdose-response curve. Since the ovarian weight obtained with HCG alone was greatly increased in pretreated animals the slope of the curve was reduced. The results suggest that androgen priming caused an increased output of endogenous FSH in the assay animal.
