Effects of adrenalectomy on the sexual behaviour of castrated and intact BDF1 mice.
Two experiments investigate the effects of adrenalectomy on the capacity of male mice of the BDF1 genotype (C57B1/6Fa male X DBA/2 female) to retain sexual behaviour following castration. Adrenalectomy is without effect and it is suggested that androgens can play no part in the maintenance of sexual behaviour in these castrates.
