抄録

Relationship between the prostate function and various hormones was examined and it was assumed that the prostate was devoid of endocrinal functions. The hypertrophy of the prostate is brought about by the administration of male hormones and gonadotrophic hormones and its atrophy can be recovered by.their administration. Hypertrophy of the prostate in castrated animals appears most markedly when a small amount of female hormone is added to the male hormone administered. Atrophy of the prostate can be effected most conveniently and simply by the administration of a large amount of female hormones or by castration.
