[Comparison of estradiol benzoate and dihydrotestosterone propionate with testosterone propionate on the induction of male-like sexual behavior in female sheep ovariectomized as adults].
Daily I/M injections of 200 microgram of oestradiol benzoate induce in female Sheep, ovariectomized as adults, male-like sexual reactions similar to what is obtained with 10 mg testosterone propionate per day. Simultaneously, a permanent female sexual receptivity is observed. Oestradiol benzoate at the dose of 20 microgram/day, and dihydrotestosterone propionate (10 mg/day) are both totally ineffective. The result support the hypothesis of the necessity of the aromatization of testosterone for the action on sexual behaviour.
