In male castrated albino rats the incorporation of C14 from acetate-1-C14 into the cholesterol of the liver, the adrenals, and the heart is significantly increased as compared to the incorporation found in the same tissues of control animals. The metabolic C14O2 originating from the injected acetate is not affected by castration, nor is the total activity of the urine. There is, incidentally, a significant increase in adrenal weight following castration.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
