1 Department of Pharmacology, Royal Veterinary College, S-104 05 Stockholm 50, Sweden Testosterone-4-14C was injected intravenously to six mice and the radioactivity was
measured after 5, 20, and 60 min in the following tissues: blood, liver, kidney, adrenal,
testis, ductus deferens, accessory sex glands, and brain. The highest amount of radioactivity per gram tissue among the sex organs was found in ductus deferens. Chromatography of chloroform extracts from testes, accessory sex glands, ductus deferens, and brain
showed that there was a rather rapid transformation of the injected substance to a variety
of labeled compounds. Quantitative differences among the different, labeled compounds in
the tissues studied were registered. The ability of ductus deferens to concentrate specifically
radioactivity after injection of labeled testosterone is discussed.
