Abstract
These experiments were studied on the phagocytic action of male rabbits which were castrated and the influence of androgenic hormone in the same condition.
1) In castrated rabbits, the number of leucocytes was not showed a so remarkable tendency but increased slightly, the phagocytic action was decreased to 60% of normal volue after 12 days from their operation and 40 days after recovered to 92%.
2) The number of leucocytes in castrated remarkably increased by androgenic Hormone (Enarmon) 0.4mg every other day in compare with control rabbits and the phagocytic action was showed much the same as normal rabbits.
Androgenic hormone would be recoverd almost completly for the decreased phagocytic action of the castrated rabbits.
3) After 1CO days, the number of leucocytes and phagocytic action in castrated rabbits recovered completly, and the both increased about 27-38% by androgenic hormone 0.4 mg every other day in compared with control.
