Abstract
Summary
A pooled urine collection from 2 male castrates contained 6 I.U. per day of androgenic activity. Capon assay of the results of digitonin fractionation indicated an androsterone to dehydroisoandrosterone ratio of 4:1 compared with the approximately 1:1 ratio found in normal male urine. In the absence of the testis smaller amounts of the same or similar androgens are excreted in slightly different proportions.
