The objectives of study were to investigate follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) level in four groups beef cow composed of Ongole Grade cow delivered twinning calves (OGT), Ongole Grade cow delivered single calf (OGS), Simmental crossbred cow delivered twinning calves (SCT) and Simmental crossbred cow delivered single calf (SCS). Morphometric traits included body weight, heart girth, body length, shoulder height, and abdominal circumference were taken from cows. Cows were reared by farmers in Grobogan and Kendal Regency, Central Java. Blood serums of cows were taken at estrus. FSH and LH concentration were measured with enzyme linked fluorescent assays (ELFA) technique.FSH and LH concentration were compared between OGT, OGS, SCT, and SCS. Result showed that there were no significant difference of FSH and LH concentration between OGT and OGS, between OGT and SCT, between OGT and SCS. There were no significant difference between OGS and SCT, and OGS and SCS. There were no significant difference between SCT and SCS. Low concentration of FSH and LH in all cows was related to suckle period, when prolactin concentration was inversely related to FSH and LH concentration.

Purpose: To investigate the comparative effects of Withania coagolans extract and morphine on spermatogenesis in rats Methods: W. coagolans was collected from Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran and 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight doses of methanol extract and 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg body weight doses of morphine were administered parenterally to the rats which were divided into groups. Blood samples were collected and the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone were assayed. The testicular tissue was isolated for histopathological examination. Results: No significant changes were observed in levels of LH, FSH and testosterone in treated groups (p < 0.05). However, there was significant difference between the treated groups for extract plus morphine groups, in terms of the number of spermatogonium, spermatocytes and spermatide variation. Moreover, the results indicate tissue disorders in all groups relative to control. The extract caused more disturbances in spermatogenesis compared to morphine, and appears to improve parameters related to spermatogenesis. Conclusion: The results show that the higher dose of Withania coagolans extract (100 mg/kg) exerts varying effects on reproductive parameters. Moreover, the lower dose of Withania coagolans extract (50 mg/kg) enhanced spermatogenesis while also protecting against the damaging effects of morphine.

Perch thyroid activity fluctuated in different phases of the reproductive cycle, being highest at spawning and lowest at postspawning. Treatment of intact perch with salmon gonadotropin (SG-G100) or ovine luteinizing hormone (LH) (1 μg/100 g body weight) for 15 days markedly enhanced thyroid activity. The extent of stimulation was greater with SG-G 100 than with LH. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) had no effect. Ovarian steroids, 17β-estradiol and estrone (100 ng/100 g body weight), also significantly augmented thyroid activity. There was a striking reduction of thyroid activity as a result of ovariectomy, a decrease that could not be improved by SG-G100; however, estrone or 17β-estradiol supplementation resulted in a significant increase of thyroid activity in comparison with ovariectomized controls. These findings suggest that gonadotropin mediated its stimulatory effect on perch thyroid activity via the release of ovarian steroids.

AbstractWe measured serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin concentrations on a bioMérieux Mini Vidas system in a pediatric population ranging in age from 1 to 19 years. Reference intervals were established separately for females and males, with stratification by age group and by Tanner's pubertal stage. FSH values were higher in females than in males, and were lowest in both sexes of age class 2 (4–8 years), increasing thereafter to the upper limit for stage PIV (females) and stage PV (males). LH values showed a similar pattern of change: concentrations were lowest for class 1 (1–3 years) and class 2 (4–8 years), and highest for stage PII (females) and stage PV (males). No significant difference was observed according to gender. Prolactin values did not differ markedly according to gender or pubertal status.Clin Chem Lab Med 2007;45:541–5.

Background: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and Lepidium sativum (LS) have therapeutic effects on infertility. Objective: To evaluate the combined effects of LS and CoQ10 on reproductive function in adult male NMRI mice. Materials and Methods: Eighty three-months-old male mice (35–40 gr) were divided into four groups (n = 10/each): control (treated with water), CoQ10-treated (200, 300, and 400 mg/kg/body weight), LS-treated (200, 400, 600 mg/kg/body weight), and co-treated (LS [600 mg/kg/body weight] + CoQ10 [200 mg/kg/body weight]) groups. Serum testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and gonadotropin realizing hormone (GnRH) levels were measured using ELISA method. The sperm quality was assessed using Sperm Class Analyzer® (SCA) CASA system and GnRH mRNA expression levels were evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The number of sniffing and following behavior was significantly higher in LStreated (400 and 600 mg/ml/body weight) groups than the control group (p = 0.0007 and p = 0.0010, respectively). The number of mounting and coupling behaviors was significantly higher in the CoQ10 (300 and 400 mg/ml/body weight)-treated animals than the control group (p = 0.0170 and p = 0.0006, respectively). Co-treatment of CoQ10 (200 mg/ml/body weight) and LS (600 mg/ml/body weight) significantly increased all aspects of sexual behaviors as well as the levels of serum testosterone (p = 0.0011), luteinizing hormone (p = 0.0062), and follicle-stimulating hormone (p = 0.0001); sperm viability (p = 0.0300) and motility (p = 0.0010); and GnRH mRNA levels (p = 0.0016) compared to the control group. Conclusion: The coadministration of CoQ10 and LS significantly improves the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and enhances the reproductive parameters in adult male mice.

Abstract. Administration of a pharmacological dose of salmon calcitonin into rats (10 MRC U/kg body weight) significantly reduced plasma concentrations of testosterone and estradiol in a time-dependent fashion. This apparently was mediated by a diminished secretion of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, the levels of which were also significantly reduced after 1 h of calcitonin administration.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi penggunaan pakan mandiri dan pakan komersil untuk pakan ikan nila srikandi di Brebes, Jawa Tengah. Pemeliharaan ikan nila srikandi dilakukan menggunakan tambak yang berukuran ± 3.000 m2 sebanyak tiga unit di mana setiap petak tambak disekat menjadi dua sehingga terdapat enam unit petak percobaan. Setiap unit percobaan ditebar sebanyak 10.000 ekor benih ikan. Ikan nila srikandi dipelihara selama empat bulan dan diberi pakan harian sebanyak 1%-2% dari bobot tubuh pada pukul 07.00, 12.00, dan 17.00. Ikan diberi pakan uji pada bulan ke-1 dan ke-2 sebanyak 1% dari bobot tubuh, kemudian pemberian pakan ditingkatkan menjadi 2% pada pemeliharaan bulan ke-3 dan ke-4. Performa ikan nila srikandi (pertumbuhan, laju pertumbuhan, dan kelangsungan hidup) yang diberi pakan mandiri dan pakan komersil diuji dengan menggunakan uji-T. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan ikan nila srikandi tidak berbeda nyata antara yang diberi pakan pakan mandiri dengan yang diberi pakan komersil (P>0,05). Kemudian, hasil produksi ikan nila srikandi yang diberi pakan mandiri mencapai 2.214 ± 172,69 kg dan pakan komersil 2.248,5 ± 234,85 kg. Berdasarkan hasil analisis usaha penggunaan pakan mandiri pada budidaya nila srikandi lebih direkomendasikan dibandingkan dengan pakan komersil.The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of locally-produced and commercial feeds on the growth of Srikandi tilapia cultured in fish farming areas of Brebes Regency, Central Java. Tilapia Srikandi were cultured in three ponds sized approximately ± 3,000 m2. Each pond was divided into two sections divided by a net, which resulted in six experimental plots. Each experimental plot was stocked with 10,000 fish seeds. Srikandi tilapia were maintained for four months and given daily feed as much as 1%-2% of body weight with feeding time at 07.00, 12.00, and 17.00. The fish were given test feeds in the 1st and 2nd month as much as 1% of body weight. The feeding level was increased to 2% in the 3rd and 4th months. The performances of Srikandi tilapia (growth, growth rate, and survival) fed with the two feed types were tested using the T-test. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference on growth performance between fish fed with locally-produced feed and commercial feed (P>0.05). The total harvest of Srikandi tilapia fed with the locally produced feed reached 2,214 ± 172.69 kg and 2,248.5 ± 234.85 kg for the commercial feed. This study suggests that in terms of economic efficiency, the use of the locally-produced feed in Srikandi tilapia farming is more profitable compared to the use of commercial feed.

To investigate the relationship between gonadotrophins, androgens and testicular descent in the pig fetus, serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and serum concentrations and testicular content of testosterone (T) and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were determined by radioimmunoassay in 95 fetuses (48 males, 47 females) between Day 60 and Day 90 post coitum (p.c.). The testes were descended in 0% of fetuses at Day 60, 8% of fetuses at Day 70, 40% of fetuses at Day 80 and 87% of fetuses at Day 90 p.c. There was a significant increase in mean serum concentrations of LH in both male and female fetuses from Day 60 to Day 90, with a significant difference in mean serum concentrations of LH between male fetuses with a body mass < 350 g (4% of testes descended) and those with a body mass > 450 g (87% of testes descended), but not between male and female fetuses < 350 g or > 450 g in body mass. There was no significant difference in mean serum concentrations of FSH between male and female fetuses. Mean serum concentrations of T were significantly higher in male fetuses at Day 60 than in those at Days 70-90, with no significant difference in serum concentrations of DHT from Day 60 to Day 90 p.c. Testicular content of T and DHT showed a non-linear increase from Day 60 to Day 90 p.c. Although the serum concentration of T is elevated before, and decreased during, the period of descent, the testicular content of T and DHT increases during the period of descent, indicating that serum concentrations of LH and FSH may have an indirect effect on descent by stimulating testicular androgen synthesis.

Tramadol manhandle straightforwardly impacts the discharge of luteinizing hormone and follicular stimulating g hormone from the front pituitary organ that diminishes the common discharge of luteinizing hormone in a pulsatile way, resulting in a negative impact on male testiclesdue to lower levels of testosterone hormone. Animals were orally given 40 mg/kg B.W. doses of tramadol. The tried measurements were given to rabbits each other day for 6 weeks. Tramadol significantly decreased body weight (BW), weight of brain, testes, testosterone, estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxin hormone (T4). While, it caused significant increase in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) concentrations in plasma, testes and brain. Keywords: Tramadol; Hormone; TBARS; Rabbits
