[Binding of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone to plasma proteins in rabbits under different physiological conditions].

Percent binding and unbound levels of T and DHT were determined in rabbits of both sexes at the end of intra-uterine life, ten days of age and adulthood. For both hormones, the lowest percent binding were observed in fetus, the highest in immature animals. The percent binding of T and DHT were significantly higher in adult females than in age-paired males. In pregnant mothers the percent binding of T and DHT were lowered.
