Effects of intranasal administration of hormonal steroids on serum testosterone and spermatogenesis in rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).

چکیده
Spraying estradiol-1713, progesterone or norethisterone intranasally in adult male rhesus monkeys (7.5-11 kg BW) at a daily dose of 30 pg/day for a period of 60 days resulted in a decrease of testicular size, arrest of spermatogenesis and a significant reduction in serum levels of testosterone. No changes were observed in the solvent-treated controls.

Testosterone Increases Circulating Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate Levels in the Male Rhesus Macaque
The adrenal steroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEAS) are two of the most abundant hormones in the human circulation. Furthermore, they are released in a circadian pattern and show a marked age-associated decline. Adult levels of DHEA and DHEAS are significantly higher in males than in females, but the reason for this sexual dimorphism is unclear. In the present study, we ad...

Background: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) such as air gun pellet is a rare finding in wild animals like Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The purpose of the present scientific report is to describe the surgical retrieval of IOFB secondary to ballistic wound in a wild Rhesus macaque. Case description: A juvenile female wild Rhesus macaque was brought with the history of swollen and inflamed ...
متن کاملEffects of microquantities of testosterone on the epididymis and accessory glands of the castrated rhesus monkey, Macaca mulatta.
Release of testosterone from silastic implants over a period of 90 days resulted in variable stimulation of the epididymis and accessory glands of reproduction in the castrated rhesus monkey. While the weights of the seminal vesicles, prostate gland and bulbo-urethral glands were maintained at the same level as the intact control animals by four or eight implants of testosterone, those of the e...
متن کاملLack of effects of recombinant human GH on spermatogenesis in the adult cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis).
OBJECTIVE The effects on male reproductive parameters after 1 year of treatment with recombinant human GH to the cynomolgus monkey were investigated. DESIGN Twenty-four male cynomolgus monkeys were given daily subcutaneous doses of 0 (vehicle) (n=7), 0.4 (n=5), 2.0 (n=5) and 10.0 (n=7) IU/kg bodyweight for 52 weeks. At completion of the treatment period two control and two high-dose animals w...
متن کاملAge-related changes in diurnal rhythms and levels of gonadotropins, testosterone, and inhibin B in male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).
Testosterone shows circadian rhythms in monkeys with low serum levels in the morning hours. The decline relies on a diminished frequency of LH pulses. Inhibin B shows no diurnal patterns. In elderly men, the diurnal rhythm of testosterone is blunted and inhibin levels fall. Here we explore whether aging exerts similar effects in the rhesus monkey. We collected blood samples from groups of young...
