Intramuscular injections of testosterone propionate (Perandren, CIBA) at a dose level of 2.5 mg per day for 10 days into adult female parakeet caused an increment of differentiated follicles in the ovary. The histological study of the testosterone treated oviduct of the bird showed well developed villi with a significant number of tubular glands particularly in the middle and distal parts of the oviduct. The high level of alkaline phosphatase activity and ascorbic acid concentration in the distal part of the oviduct in treated birds probably increase the power of hatchable eggs which has a close relationship with the enzyme and vitamin C concentration in the uterus. The testosterone treatment causes a marked depletion of granulosal vitamins from ovary but augments the ascorbate mobilization in the thecal region to a very great extent probably due to more LH secretion from the pituitary.
对成年雌性长尾小鹦鹉每天肌肉注射2.5毫克丙酸睾酮（倍恩力，汽巴公司生产），持续10天，导致其卵巢中分化卵泡数量增加。对经睾酮处理的鸟类输卵管进行组织学研究发现，绒毛发育良好，有大量管状腺，尤其是在输卵管的中部和远端。经处理鸟类输卵管远端的碱性磷酸酶活性和抗坏血酸浓度较高，这可能增强了可孵化卵的活力，而这与子宫中的酶和维生素C浓度密切相关。睾酮处理导致卵巢颗粒层维生素显著减少，但极大地增强了卵泡膜区域的抗坏血酸动员，这可能是由于垂体分泌了更多促黄体生成素。
