Abstract

Testosterone administration at 100 μg daily increased the frequency of sloughing in the female gecko by reducing the resting phase of the sloughing cycle. The androgen was also effective in inducing the development of glandular scales and femoral glands in female animals, in areas where they are normally absent. The role of the androgen on these epidermal changes is discussed.
