Relationships between short-term variations of LH, FSH, prolactin and testosterone in peripheral plasma of prepubertal bulls.

چکیده
In 2 prepubertal bulls 10-min blood samples collected during a 24-h period showed that gonadotrophin and testosterone peaks occurred regularly at intervals of 6h in one animal and 8h in the other. There was a clear relationship between the LH, FSH and testosterone peaks. The increase of gonadotrophin levels was followed 20 +/- 6 (s.d.) min later by an increase of testosterone; the interval between the peak values was 61 +/- 9 (s.d.) min. The pattern of prolactin concentration differed; there were two prolonged elevations rather than regular peaks.

Serum hormone patterns associated with growth and sexual development in bulls.
Two experiments were conducted to characterize changes in serum hormones prior to and during puberty in bulls and to study effects of castration or shortening the scrotum on these hormonal changes. In the first experiment, four of eight prepubertal bulls (135 days old) and four of eight pubertal bulls (278 days old) were left intact and four of each group were castrated. Two weeks later, serum ...
متن کاملP-7: Testosterone and Gonadotrophin Hormones Plasma Concentration-Induced Changes in Sertoli and Leydig Cells Number in Hyperprolactinemic Mature Male Mice
Background: Hyperprolactinemia is a particular concern in the treatment of schizophrenic patients. The side effects associated with high prolactin levels can have a negative impact on GnRH pulsatile secretion and, consequently LH, FSH and testosterone pulsatility and follows by, on special testicular cells that have these hormon’s receptors such as sertoli and leydig cells. Quantification the d...
متن کاملEffect 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 کاملP-5: Evaluation of The Effect of Sulpiride As An Atypical Antipsychotic Drug, on The Serum Levels of Prolactin, LH, FSH and Testosterone in Adult Male Mice
Background: Prescription of the atypical antipsychotic drugs like as Sulpiride for the treatment of schizophrenic patients was increased because of their less side effects. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of sulpiride on hormonal milieu of adult male mice namely their serum level of prolactin and sexual hormones. Materials and Methods: 24 adult male mice were divided in three groups...
متن کاملEffect of chronic treatment with the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist azagly-nafarelin on basal concentrations of LH in prepubertal bulls.
Administration of GnRH agonist for an extended period inhibits pulsatile LH release but enhances testicular function of bulls. The mechanism whereby long-term administration of GnRH agonist enhances testosterone concentration in the blood of bulls has not been determined. The aim of this study was to determine whether chronic treatment with the GnRH agonist, azagly-nafarelin, increases blood co...
