چکیده
was taken from indwelling jugular cannulae at 30 min intervals for 48 hr, a testis being removed under local anaesthesia (Lignocaine, Pharmaceutical Man. Co.) from each animal after 24 hr. Testosterone concentrations in plasma were measured by the radioimmunoassay method of Haynes, Hafs, Waters, Manns & Riley (1975) and LH concentrations by the radioimmunological procedure described by Oxender, Hafs & Edgerton (1972). One bull had no detectable testosterone after unilateral castration and was not included in the analysis.

Effect of unilateral castration and unilateral cryptorchidism on gonadotropin and testosterone response to gonadotropin releasing hormone in the bull.
The effects of unilateral castration (UC) and induced unilateral cryptorchidism (UCR) on basal plasma luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone, and on the responses of these hormones to gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), were investigated in bulls altered at 3, 6 or 9 months of age. Blood plasma was collected before and after GnRH (200 micrograms) stimul...
متن کاملThe Effect of Prepubertal Castration on Wool Diameter and Blood Testosterone in Ghezel Breed
Wool growth depends on hormones activity. Owing to hormonal status is extensively affected by surgical excision of endocrine glands, disease or severe congenital abnormalities, wool growth will be altered. This study intends to assess the effect of prepubertal castration at different ages on wool traits and testosterone with draw in male lambs. One month of age Ghezel male lambs (n=20) were sel...
متن کاملEffect of castration on plasma luteinizing hormone concentrations in prepubertal boars.
Mean concentrations and the occurrence of pulsatile release of luteinizing hormone (LH) were determined in 14-wk-old crossbred boars (50.5 +/- 1.5 kg) after bilateral or unilateral castration at 10 wk of age. Blood was collected at 10-min intervals for 5 h. Then gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH; 40 micrograms) was given and sampling was continued at 5-min intervals for 1 h. Compared with in...
متن کاملExogenous Testosterone, Finasteride and Castration Effects on Testosterone, Insulin, Zinc and Chromium in Adult Male Rats
Background: Although effects of trace elements on secretion of sex steroids and insulin have been studied, the effects of these hormones on serum level of trace elements have been rarely investigated. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of testosterone and finasteride administration and castration on serum levels of testosterone, insulin, zinc and chromium. Methods: Male adu...
متن کاملEffect of Exogenous Testosterone, Finasteride, and Castration on serum level of Thyroxin
Background: The secretion of thyroxin (T4) as the main hormone of thyroid gland is regulated by androgens. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of testosterone and finasteride administration and castration on serum levels of T4 and to show the effect of this regulation on total body weight, weight of testis, and the weight of prostate. Methods: Male adult rats (n = 32) were divided in...
