Abstract
Summary
Experiments on plethoric, androgen treated, hypophysectomized rats indicate: (a) the inhibitory effect of plethora on the erythropoietic activity of androgens is not due to a lack of ESF; (b) the manner in which the plethoric state is obtained is not a factor in the inhibitory effect; and (c) by indirect evidence, that the failure to see an erythropoietic response to testosterone propionate in hypophysectomized rats 2 weeks after surgery is related to the relative degree of plethora existing in this animal.
