Abstract

The effects of cyproterone acetate on the accessory organs of immature, prepubertal, and sexually mature adult rats were studied. Administration of CA to immature 30-day-old rats for 15 days markedly decreased the silaic acid in the caput and cauda epididymides and decreased the secretory activity of the accessory glands. Treatment of adult rats with CA for 15 days caused an increased incorporation of 3H-uridine into RNA and of 3H-phenylalanine into protein in the caput and cauda epididymides. The percentage of increase in the specific activity of RNA and protein was higher in the cauda epididymidis than in the caput epididymidis.
