Arnold Adolph Berthold 1803 – 1861 Founder of Endocrinology

Berthold’s Experiment in Roosters…. Castration Castration & Reimplantation of testis Castration & Transplantation of testis

Berthold’s Conclusion... -A secretory, blood-borne product of the transplanted testes is responsible for the normal development of the birds in the second and third group Today, it is called TESTOSTERONE -’problem’: no one knows why Berthold did the experiment in the first place…. No clear rationale for it.
