Özet
The aim of this study was to examine the morphometric effects of testosterone on some osteological structures in pubescent rats. For this purpose, 16 male and 16 female rats were allocated equally to control and experimental groups. After calculating the average weight of all rats, testosterone was administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg body weight (bw) by subcutaneous route, 5 days a week for 10 weeks. At the end of the 10th week, all the rats were euthanized; and corpus and height measurements of the femur and humerus, and cortex and cavum medulla morphometric measurements were made. A significant decrease was detected in the corpus femoris and height measurements of the male rats administered with testosterone (P0.05). A significant decrease was determined in the corpus humeri and height measurements of female and male rats administered with testosterone (P
