In-vivo testosterone and ventral prostate growth in prepubertal male WISTAR rats. The establishment of a dose response relationship between IM testosterone injections and ventral prostatic weight (as a measure of prostate development). Prepubertal male WISTAR rats were given IM testosterone injections of 500 μg, 2500 μg and 5000 μg. Control animals were given IM injections of vehicle (olive oil) only. Prostatic growth is expressed as the weight of the ventral prostate gland normalized to 100 g body weight of the individual rats. Each data point is mean ± SE of five animals' ventral prostate weights.
