Abstract
Antiserum has been raised in rabbits treated with 19 nortestosterone-hemisuccinate-bovine-serumalbumin conjugate and used for the development of a specific RIA of plasma 19 nortestosterone. Plasma samples are drawn from testicular and jugular veins of stallions during castration under general anesthesia. Results demonsrate a testicular secretion of 19 nortestosterone and a stress inhibition of this secretion correlatively with stress inhibition of testosterone secretion.
