[The effects of testosterone on the adenohypophysis of female rat (author's transl)].
The research regards the action of rapidly and slowly absorbed testosterone in the adenohypophysis of female impuberal rats. The results are that the rapidly adsorbed testosterone if administered in small quantities stimulates the activity of synthesis in the FSH cells, if administered in large quantities stimulates the activity of synthesis both in the FSH cells and in the LH cells. The slowly absorbed testosterone stimulates again the activity of synthesis only of the FSH cells. Both rapidly absorbed and slowly absorbed testosterone inhibit the release activity in both the FSH cells and the LH cells.
