Abstract:
:Based on histological criteria, Kingsley and Bogdanove (3) reported that the benzoate ester of 17beta-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-3-one (5alpha-DHT), unlike testosterone propionate, is unable to induce vaginal mucification when given subcutaneously to rats. In contrats, Kennedy (4) found in estrogen-pretreated rats that both 5alpha-DHT and testosterone induced vaginal mucification as indicated by increased vaginal sialic acid concentration. To determine if esterification of these androgens altered their ability to induce vaginal mucification, ovariectomized rats, pretreated for 3 days with 0.25 mug estradiol-17beta, were treated for 8 days with either sesame oil or 7 mumoles of testosterone, 5alpha-DHT and their respective propionate and benzoate esters. All treatments except 5-alpha-DHT benzoate increased vaginal weight and vaginal mucification, as assessed histochemically and biochemically. 5alpha-DHT propionate was less effective than 5alpha-DHT while testosterone benzoate, but not propionate was less effective than testosterone. To determine if estrogens are necessary for the vaginal effects of androgens, ovariectomized and ovariectomized-adrenalectomized rats were treated with testosterone or 5alpha-DHT. Adrenalectomy did not significantly affect the vaginal response to either androgen. It is therefore concluded that androgens are capable of inducing vaginal mucification in the absence of estrogens.
