Male prepubertal (about 4 weeks old) Wistar rats were used to estimate the pain reaction times using the tail-flick and hot-plate models; the testosterone concentration in all the animals before the tests in the blood plasma was measured. The same sets of animals were kept for the next 4 weeks under...
