Characterization of pituitary LH and FSH from intact and castrated male monkeys showed that gonadotropins from intact males are smaller in average apparent molecular size, and disappear from the circulation of test rats more rapidly than hormones from castrated males. Furthermore, intact male monkey LH and FSH are smaller and are cleared from the rat circulation faster than the gonadotropins from intact female monkeys. We conclude that 1) in the rhesus monkey changes in the properties of pituitary LH and FSH resulting from orchidectomy are similar to those which follow ovariectomy, 2) the response to gonadectomy of the male monkey with regard to the molecular properties of FSH is opposite to that of the male rat, and 3) the relationship between the influence of male and female sex hormones on the apparent molecular size of FSH in the monkey is the reverse of that in the rat.
对完整雄性和阉割雄性猴子垂体促黄体生成素（LH）和促卵泡生成素（FSH）的特性研究表明，完整雄性猴子的促性腺激素平均表观分子大小较小，并且从受试大鼠的循环中消失的速度比阉割雄性猴子的激素更快。此外，完整雄性猴子的LH和FSH比完整雌性猴子的促性腺激素更小，从大鼠循环中清除的速度更快。我们得出以下结论：1）在恒河猴中，睾丸切除导致的垂体LH和FSH特性变化与卵巢切除后的变化相似；2）雄性猴子对性腺切除在FSH分子特性方面的反应与雄性大鼠相反；3）雄性和雌性性激素对猴子FSH表观分子大小的影响关系与大鼠相反。
