Notes:
Stickleback males were implanted with Silastic capsules filled with 11-ketoandrostenedione or androstenedione at the end of the breeding season. 11-Ketoandrostenedione prevented the natural decline in secondary sexual characters and testes weight. It also completely inhibited the commencement of spermatogenesis, which normally takes place in late summer after having been quiescent during the breeding season. Androstenedione also exerted these effects, but to a lesser degree.
