A reduced testosterone concentration characterizes heart failure and independently predicts outcomes. Although testosterone replacement therapy may have non cardiac-related therapeutic benefits in heart failure, whether reduced testosterone concentrations protect against adverse left ventricular remodeling (LV dilatation) is uncertain. We therefore evaluated whether surgical castration modifies...

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...

BACKGROUND For the last few years, researchers have been interested in developing a method for chemical sterilization which may be a better alternative to surgical castration. An ideal chemical sterilant would be one that effectively arrests spermatogenesis and androgenesis as well as libido with absence of toxic or other side effects. Calcium chloride in various solutions and concentrations ha...

Previous studies have shown that surgical castration wounds take between 10 and 61 d to heal. The objectives of this work were to describe healing, inflammation, lying behavior, and serum concentration of substance P after surgical castration in beef calves and to evaluate the effect of a possible intervention, a single injection of flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg IV, a NSAID), on the healing pro...
