title: [Cytogenetic activity of testosterone propionate and methyltestosterone in a culture of lymphocytes of healthy women and women suffering from hyperandrogenism].
abstract: To discover the effects of various concentrations of androgenic preparations on lymphocyte cultures from healthy women (group 1) and of women with hyperandrogenism (group 2), a total of 6792 metaphases were examined after peripheral blood lymphocyte culturing after Hangerford. The data indicated a relatively high incidence of aberrant metaphases, total number of ruptures and paired ruptures in the second group, a higher cytogenetic activity of testosterone propionate in both groups, and a higher cytogenetic activity of androgenic hormones in the second group. Bearing in mind a similar, if not higher, activity of endogenic testosterone in a female organism, we must admit a high probability of genetic system involvement in women suffering from hyperandrogenism.
