ABSTRACT
Effects of exogenous androgens (testosterone, testosterone propionate and dihydrotestosterone) and estradiol-17beta on the oviductal growth/hypertrophy were studied in young and bilaterally ovariectomized (BLO) adult frogs (Rana cyanophlyctis) during postbreeding phase of the reproductive cycle. Estradiol-17beta injections induced oviductal hypertrophy to the maximal extent among hormone treated groups. In androgen treated frogs also there was an increase in the oviductal dry weight and protein content both in young and BLO adult frogs, suggesting the role of endogenous androgens in controlling the growth of oviduct in R. cyanophlyctis.
