[Interrelationship between adrenal cortex and genital apparatus of the male rat].
Interactions between gonadal hormones and adrenocortical function have been studied in the male rat. After injection (im) of testosterone, the accessory reproductive organs are more stimulated in the castrated rats than in the castrated adrenalectomized rats. Gonadectomy increases lipids, cholesterol and corticosterone in adrenal glands and plasma corticosterone levels. Testosterone reverses these effects.
