Androgen control of transcortin binding capacity in adult male ducks.
In adult male ducks submitted to marked variations in plasma testosterone concentration, plasma transcortin (CBG) levels were shown to be closely related to the level of plasma testosterone. In connection with previous data on female ducks, the results strongly support the evidence that at least in this species, CBG is under a stimulatory control by testosterone.
