Testicular development and establishment of spermatogenesis in Holstein bulls.
Fifty-two Holstein bulls were castrated at 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 or 32 weeks to (1) determine whether testicular development is influenced by season of birth (April or October) and (2) examine quantitatively the establishment of spermatogenesis. Season of birth (spring or fall) did not influence (P less than .05) either testis weight at castration or the establishment of spermatogenesis. With age ...
متن کاملMicrovascularisation of the scrotal integument of Holstein-Friesian bulls.
Based on standard histological methods and specific injection technique, the study demonstrates for the first time the blood vessel system of the scrotal integument.The latter is relatively thin and shows a thick underlying fascia, the tunica dartos. The vessel networks found in both structures are somewhat different from each other, i.e., the former displays the typical integumental vessel sch...
متن کاملRelationship of body weight to testicular size and consistency in growing Holstein bulls.
The relationship between 1,203 measurements of scrotal circumference and testicular consistency, usually made at 6-month intervals, and body weight in 411 Holstein bulls, primarily 6 to 72 months of age, were analyzed. All bulls were weighed within 14 days of testicular measurement. The relationship between body weight in kg (Y) and bull age in months (X) is described by the regression equation...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Localization of Ghrelin in Testicular Tissues of Holstein Bulls
Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid acylated peptide, was identified as the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor and its role in reproduction has recently been established. It is believed that the site of ghrelin expression in testes may indicate its role in local regulation. This study investigated the immunohistochemical (IHC) localization of ghrelin in Holstein bull testi...
متن کاملCadmium as an etiology of sperm dysfunction in Holstein bulls
Oxidative stress has been identified as a crucial factor leading to male infertility largely due to peroxidativedamage to the sperm cell membrane. Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental pollutant and oneof the well-known reproductive toxicants. Because of its long biological half-life (10–30 years), Cdaccumulates in the biological systems. The present study was designed to assess the concen...
