Adult male rats which had been castrated prepuberally secreted less sebum than intact rats. When hypophysectomy followed castration there was a further decrease in sebum secretion. Treatment of the castrated and hypophysectomized castrated rats with testosterone propionate produced a large and comparable increase in the sebum secretion of both groups. Testosterone propionate also caused a marked increase in the preputial gland weight of the castrated rats, although a much smaller response occurred after hypophysectomy. The effect of hypophysectomy on the response of the sebaceous and preputial glands to testosterone is discussed.
