The present study investigated the activating effects of steroid hormones upon aggression and sexual behavior in male and female S3 strain mice. Groups of gonadectomized male and female rats were treated with testosterone propionate (TP) or oestradiol benzoate (EB). Analysis of variance indicated that the overall effects of TP- or EB-treatment were significantly different in the two sexes. In females, aggression was higher in TP-treated than in EB-treated animals or oil-treated controls. EB and TP were equally efficacious in males. The responses of EB-treated females to TP-treated opponents are of special interest as female-typical sexual responses were frequent and aggression relatively low but not absent. |
