The changes in testosterone, cholesterol and ascorbic acid in the testicular tissue of the rat were examined 2 mo. after pinealectomy. Pinealectomy stimulated testicular function, producing a significant increase in testosterone, cholesterol and ascorbic acid concentration. The role of the pineal gland in testicular androgenesis was discussed.
