Popis: Two experiments assessed the interrelation between corticosterone and androgen-dependent aggressive behavior. In the first experiment, the display of aggression by prepubertally castrate male mice following testosterone replacement on Day 60 of life was significantly delayed by either 60 days of pretreatment, coincident treatment, or pre and coincident treatment: with 325 μg corticosterone per day. A second experiment showed that the same corticosterone regimens had no effect upon the aggressive behavior of intact males.
