Abstract
Concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone, androstenedione and prolactin were measured in serum collected at 20 min intervals during the same 24 h period from bulls 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 or 9 months of age. This experimental design was adopted to allow measurement of endocrine changes due to age, independent of changes in temperature and photoperiod. Testicular tissue from these bulls was incubated in vitro with 0, 5 and 50 ng of LH/ml of media to measure testosterone and androstenedione production.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
