INFLUENCE OF SEX ON THE ANTIPROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITY OF RAT SERUM,
Abstract
The effect of sex hormones on the serum antiproteolytic activity of normal and castrate rats was investigated. Normal male rats displayed higher antitrypsin and antiplasmin values than did female rats. Testosterone administration caused an increase in antiproteolytic activity; estradiol was largely ineffective in eliciting any change. Castration caused a depression of serum antiplasmin activity in males, but no effect was noted with the female rats. (Author)
