— Electrophoretic patterns of forebrain and hindbrain proteins were compared in normal adult rats of both sexes, as well as in adult female rats following neonatal androgenization. There were significant differences between the forebrains and hindbrains in the relative densities of several chromatin proteins and soluble cytoplasmic protein bands. Minor qualitative differences between forebrains and hindbrains were observed in patterns of chromatin proteins. No qualitative sex difference was detectable in the patterns of chromatin‐derived proteins or in soluble cytoplasmic proteins. The relative densities of the brain protein bands were very similar for both sexes, indicating quantitative equivalence as well. The brain protein electrophoretic patterns of adult females following neonatal androgenization were identical qualitatively to those of normal females in respect to both chromatin and cytoplasmic proteins.
