Abstract: | The dynamics of testosterone-7alpha-3H consumption by the reproductive tract rudiments (tubules, urogenital sinus and genital tubercle) and the muscles has been studied in the in vitro experiments immediately after the isolation of embryos (16-21 days of development), as well as after the preliminary two days cultivation in the diffusion chambers (13-20 days of development). In the first series of experiments, the selective, specific consumption of the labelled androgen was observed at all stages under study, whereas in the second series of experiments the specific and selective consumption in the organs-targets was noted from the 15th day of development (in the genital tubercle and urogenital sinus). No selective consumption in the tubules was noted. |
