Abstract
Conclusions
Testosterone stimulates directly the growth of the uterus and the vaginal epithelium of the immature rat. There is a qualitative difference only in the uterine response in the intact and ovariectomized animal. It does not act directly on the ovary but stimulates it indirectly by way of the anterior hypophysis, resulting in follicle maturation and corpus luteum formation. As a result of corpus luteum formation from hypophyseal stimulation, the Fallopian tubes may show growth activity.
