Abstract
GONADAL regulation of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism in arterial vessels has already been reported1,2. Castration increases the uptake of oxygen both in male and in female rats3, and sex hormones which normally depress the oxidative enzymes of the vessels4 return these high values to normal. Furthermore, cyclic changes in the uptake of oxygen of the aorta have also been described in female rats. The oxidative activity was lower during œstrus and higher during diœstrus5; these findings may be correlated with opposite circulating levels of sex hormones.
