Male Accessory Reproductive Glands Research Articles

Ability of some progestational steroids to stimulate male accessory glands of reproduction in the rat.

SummaryWhen tested for ability to stimulate seminal vesicles and prostates of castrate, immature rats, a series of progestational steroids produced results as follows: 1) None of the compounds has androgenic activity approaching that of standard androgens, methyl-testosterone or testosterone propionate. 2) All compounds tested orally produced some stimulation of the prostate, although it was extremely slight in the case of 17α-acetoxy progesterone and 6α-methyl-17α-acetoxy progesterone. Significant stimulation of seminal vesicles was seen only with 17α-ethinyltestosterone, 17α-ethinyl-19-nortestosterone, and EN. 3) Of compounds tested subcutaneously, only 17α-(2-methallyl)-19-nortestosterone failed to stimulate the seminal vesicle. All compounds produced some stimulation of the prostate, although EN and 17α-(2-methallyl)-19-nortestosterone produced minimal responses.
