NOTES

Female monkeys were used. 0.0798mg of Testosterone was added in total. The data was corrected for incomplete urinary recovery. The results were given as +/- SEM I have converted these to SD. The monkeys were not anaethetised. They were kept in metabolism chairs with their arms secured for 24h to prevent them wiping the chemical off the skin.
