[Effect of sigetin on the sexual behavior of female rats androgenized and nonandrogenized on the 5th day of life].

It was shown in experiments on female rats that sigetin can be used in the treatment of the disturbed sex behavior pattern that occurred because of impaired differentiation of the hypothalamic sex centres in the crucial period of early ontogenesis. Sigetin did not produce any similar effects on intact females. Potential clinical use of sigetin for the treatment of certain groups of sexologic patients is discussed.
