摘要：

Rats of both sexes were injected with 500 μg testosterone propionate (TP) or an oil placebo at 4 days of age and tested in the Open Field at 75 days of age. TP-injected females showed a change in behavior in a male direction, defecating more and ambulating less than controls. TP-injected males defecated less and ambulated less than controls. In both sexes the results obtained depended on the treatment given to the other sex in that litter. TP also increased female body weight and reduced that of males. © 1969.
