Running head: TESTICULAR BLOOD FLOW IN GOATS
نویسندگان
چکیده
25 Although color Doppler ultrasonography has been used to evaluate testicular blood flow in 26 many species, very little has been done in goat. Eight male Shiba goats were exposed to a 27 single intramuscular injection of either gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH group; 28 1μg/kg BW) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG group; 25 IU/kg BW). Plasma 29 testosterone (T), estradiol (E2), and inhibin (INH) were measured just before (0 hr), and at 30 different intervals post injection by radioimmunoassay. Testis volume (TV) and Doppler 31 indices such as resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of the supratesticular artery were 32 measured by B-mode and color Doppler ultrasonography, respectively.

Testicular sizes of animals are important for identification of those with adequate sperm production. The aim of this study was to define the testicular and related size estimates that would be associated with optimal cauda epididymal sperm counts (ESC) in Sahel goats based on postmortem evaluations. A stratified quota sample population of 125 male goats inclusive of all testicular sizes was ta...

This study was carried out to evaluate testicular ultrasound as a breeding soundness examination (BSE) and biometric tool for West African dwarf (WAD) buck goats. Twelve bucks of proven breeding capability were selected for this purpose. Scrotal circumferences of these animals were measured using a flexible tape. Testicular ultrasound was carried out on the transverse and longitudinal planes on...

The effect of subcutaneous injections of vitamin C on the seminal characteristics of Markhoz bucks (2–4-year-old) was studied. The bucks, trained to serve an artificial vagina, were randomly allotted into three equal groups (n = 4) and received daily either zero (1 mL normal saline; control group), or 20 (VitC20 group) or 40 (VitC40 group) mg per kg body weight vitamin C from July 06, 2006 to O...
متن کاملThe Effect of Hurdling Performance on The Adaptive Profile of Cerebral Blood Flow in Vestibular Irritation
Background: The reactions of the whole organism that occur under the action of accelerations of rectilinear and rotational motion are factors that have a systemic effect on the cerebral blood flow. The use of hurdling performance in the structure of human physical activity can have a significant impact on the tone of the brain vessels, their elasticity and venous outflow in the development of f...
