Abstract：
:The self-grooming behavior of prepubescent male and female rats is described. Sex differences were observed in components of grooming addressed to the genitals, but not in other aspects of grooming. A hormonal basis for the sex difference was examined in two experiments. When females were injected with testosterone propionate (TP) on the day of birth, their subsequent grooming was found to be no different from that of control-treated females. However, males and females gonadectomized at weaning and treated daily with TP each performed significantly more genital self-grooming than oil-treated controls. There were no sex differences in gonadectomized, oil-treated rats, and sex differences in response to TP were limited to greater responsiveness of females to a 50-micrograms, but not 200-micrograms, TP dose. These results lead to the conclusion that sex differences in self-grooming can be accounted for primarily by differences in testosterone availability during the peripubertal period.
