Abstract
In order to study the effect of testosterone on bladder calculi and tumor formation in female rats, Wistar rats were administered testosterone for 12, 18 or 24 weeks. Testosterone was found to increase the incidence of both bladder calculi and tumors in intact, but not in oophorectomized rats. It is suggested that testosterone in combination with estrogen may contribute to hyperplasia formation, in turn leading to an increased incidence of bladder calculi and tumors.Entities:
