The serum levels of lh were measured by radioimmunoassay in androgen-sterilized and normal cyclic rats, both in the presence and absence of ovaries. The serum of persistent-oestrous rats contained significantly more lh than that of normal rats on the day of oestrus, the raised level being comparable to that found in the adult male rat. The pituitary gland of the persistent-oestrus rat resembled...

Plasma concentrations of LH, progesterone and oestradiol were measured in 5 cyclic swamp buffaloes. Progesterone levels began to increase after Day 5 (Day 0 = the day of oestrus) and reached a plateau after Day 10. A rapid decrease in progesterone levels occurred during the 5 days before oestrus, followed by a sustained increase in oestradiol concentrations. Basal LH levels decreased towards th...

A characteristic dysfunction ofthe hand has been observed in various cervical spinal disorders when there is involvement of the spinal cord. There is loss of power of adduction and extension of the ulnar two or three fingers and an inability to grip and release rapidly with these fingers. These changes have been termed “myelopathy hand” and appear to be due to pyramidal tract involvement. The c...

objective(s):experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (eae) is an autoimmune disease validated as animal model of multiple sclerosis (ms). administration of genistein, a phytoestrogenic component of soy, to mice at the onset of eae is known to attenuate the clinical signs of the disease. the potential effects of genistein on established eae is less studied. in the current study, we aimed to comp...
