What is a Hershberger Assay?


The Hershberger Assay is an in vivo bioassay, primarily used to evaluate the androgenic or anti-androgenic activity of chemical substances. This assay is named after Arthur Hershberger, who first described it. The assay involves the use of castrated male rats, which are administered a test substance, and the resulting effects on specific androgen-dependent tissues are measured.
