Abstract: | Administration of 0.50 mg or 1.00 mg progesterone (P) daily resulted in suppression of portions of the male sexual repertoire. Mice treated with 0.25 mg P daily behaved like control subjects. Sexual behavior of mice treated with the higher P doses resembled that of controls three weeks after cessation of P treatment. No lasting effects of P on total body weight or on weights of testes or seminal vesicles were detected. |
