ABSTRACT Unlike in other non-human primates, ovariectomy of the female marmoset did not alter heterosexual interactions. Proceptive behaviour bouts retained the same cyclicity, duration and frequency within tests as during the ovarian cycle. Significant rises in plasma levels of cortisol, progesterone, oestrone and testosterone were found during these proceptive behaviour bouts and in cortisol, progesterone and oestrone at their onset. Results suggest a role for adrenocortical steroids in both maintaining female sexuality and regulating its cyclicity during ovarian cycles in this primate. J. Endocr. (1984) 101, 155–162
