Abstract
AbstractFemale sexual behavior was studied in male and female rats. Males were castrated on the day of birth (Day 1); some received ovarian implants at that time; others were injected on Day 3 with oil, 5 μg testosterone propionate (TP), or 50 μg TP. Females were ovariectomized at birth, 20, or 60 days of age; on Day 3 all were injected with oil, 5 μg, TP, or 50 μg TP. Prepuberal ovarian tenancy in females tended to counteract the effects on sexual receptivity of TP administered during neonatal life. In males ovarian implants facilitated female sexual behavior at adulthood in oil‐injected animals, but did not significantly influence the effect on neonatally injected TP.
