title: [Development of the endocrine function of the adrenals and gonads of Papio hamadryas in postnatal ontogeny].
abstract: The hormonal functions of suprarenal glands and gonads were studied in the sacred baboon males and females during different periods of postnatal development. This in view, the content of cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol, pregnenolone, progesterone, 17-oxypregnenolone, 17-oxyprogesterone, 20 alpha-dihydroprogesterone, estrone and estradiol was determined using the radioimmunoassay. The early activation of secretion of the suprarenal androgens, characteristic of the man, is absent during the sexual maturation of the sacred baboon males and females. The level of corticosteroids and their basic precursors, characteristic of the adult sacred baboons, is extablished by the end of 3rd year of life.
