Abstract:
Testosterone radioimmunological assays were made in testes of 19th day fetuses affected with pituitary agenesis. Testosterone was found very reduced but still present, indicating a basic synthesis, independent of hypophyseal stimulation. General apparatus of affected fetuses is grossly normal. Intervention of chorionic gonadotrophin is hypothesized.
