A possible effect of testosterone on the adenosine 3'-5' cyclic monophosphate levels in rat cerebral cortex. A brief note.
Based on a correlation of serum testosterone levels and cortical cyclic-AMP concentrations in a normal aging population of male CD Fischer rats and a demonstration of decreased cortical cyclic-AMP subsequent to injection of testosterone, it was concluded that a cause and effect relation between hormone concentrations and brain cyclic nucleotide levels is tenable.
