Abstract:

Comparative levels of LH, FSH and PRL in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of adult male rats were studied at different periods following castration. Intact and sham-operated animals served as controls. Blood and CSF were collected at 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 46 days following castration. The CSF was collected via cisterna-magna puncture, while the blood was collected from abdominal aorta. Serum gonadotropins increased progressively beginning day 1 post-castration to reach maximum by day 35 or 46 post-castration. Sham operation and castration did not affect mean CSF, LH and FSH levels

Abstract:

GnRH is potent stimulator of gonadotropin's alpha and beta chains synthesis in vivo. Stimulation of LHbeta gene transcription requires pulsatile GnRH administration but the transcription of alpha subunit can be stimulated independently of GnRH mode of administration. Castration increases whereas in vivo estradiol and testosterone replacement decreases the rate of gene transcription of pituitary gonadotropin subunits. Thyroid hormones can enhance or diminish the pituitary levels of LHbeta and FSHbeta subunit mRNAs in female rats. Inhibin, activin and follistatin were shown to be potent regulato

Abstract:

Hormonal changes associated with the dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis following menopause/andropause have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Experimental support for this has come from studies demonstrating an increase in amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition following ovariectomy/castration. Because sex steroids and gonadotropins are both part of the HPG feedback loop, any loss in sex steroids results in a proportionate increase in gonadotropins. To assess whether Aβ generation was due to the loss of serum 17β-estradiol or to the up-regulation o

Abstract:

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the hypothalamic factor that mediates reproductive competence. Intermittent GnRH secretion from the hypothalamus acts upon its receptor in the anterior pituitary to regulate the production and release of the gonadotropins, LH and FSH. LH and FSH then stimulate sex steroid hormone synthesis and gametogenesis in the gonads to ensure reproductive competence. The pituitary requires pulsatile stimulation by GnRH to synthesize and release the gonadotropins LH and FSH. Clinically, native GnRH is used in a pump delivery system to create an episodic delivery pat

Immunosterilization is an attractive alternative to surgical castration. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) controls the production of the gonadotropins thereby having an orchestrating effect on the reproductive hormone cascade and spermatogenesis. Induction of neutralizing antibody can abrogate the effect of the hormone. Current GnRH-based vaccines often require strong adjuvants and/or multiple injections of the vaccines to overcome variability in the response.

Abstract Short-term starvation suppresses the pituitary-testicular function in rats, evidently through inhibition of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release. However, when gonadotrophin secretion is strongly enhanced, e.g. after castration, starvation does not suppress gonadotrophins. To test whether the time since castration affects the pituitary response to starvation, adult male rats were totally deprived of food for five days (only water allowed) immediately (acute castration) or two weeks after castration (chronic castration).

After castration (7 days), mean GnRH levels were substantially increased (4.3-fold) compared with intact controls (0.94 +/- 0.16 vs. 0.22 +/- 0.08 pg/10 min, respectively, P < 0.05) due to an increase in both the frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses.

Abstract:

A common practice in Iberian pigs is the castration of both males and females, and it can be carried out surgically or by immunization against gonadotropin-releasing factor (GnRF). The aim of this work was to determine consumers’ overall liking and expectations towards Iberian pork from five different sex types (castrated females, entire females, GnRF-vaccinated females, castrated males and GnRF-vaccinated males), as well as to know the attitudes and beliefs of consumers towards castration and immunocastration. Loins from 83 Iberian pigs were collected and evaluated by 252 consumers in Barcelo

ABSTRACT In the long-term castrated rat the negative feedback effect of testosterone is markedly reduced and the raised levels of plasma LH seen in the castrated animals are not suppressed by physiological concentrations of plasma testosterone. In this study we have measured pituitary gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor content as well as plasma and pituitary LH on days 1, 10 and 40 after castration and noted the effect of testosterone replacement on these parameters. We found that the negative feedback effect of physiological concentrations of testosterone on plasma and pituitary

Abstract:

Laparoscopic castration of cryptorchid or hemicastrated horses is a viable surgical technique; however, transection of the spermatic chord to induce avascular necrosis of testicular tissue that is left in place can result in revascularization with subsequent production of testosterone and stallion-like behavior. Endocrine tests, such as determination of testosterone concentration and the human chorionic gonadotropin response test, can be used to identify horses that presumably have been castrated but have viable testicular tissue.

Abstract:

Measuring serum testosterone determination during medical castration is recommended by prostate cancer (PCa) guidelines to assess its efficacy and define castration resistance. It has been suggested that other biochemical compounds, such as free testosterone or luteinising hormone (LH), could also assess castration efficacy. We aimed to analyse the current evidence for serum biochemical compounds that could be appropriate candidates for evaluating medical castration efficacy.

Abstract:

Abstract Pituitary gonadotropes show sex-related differences in their ultrastructure. Typical gonadotropes of male rats exhibit both large granules, which contain chromogranin A (CgA), and small granules, which contain secretogranin II (SgII). In contrast, typical female rat gonadotropes show only a very few large granules among the numerous small granules. To clarify the nature of the biogenesis of these secretory granules and the effects of sex steroids, the ultrastructural and immunocytochemical changes in gonadotropes were examined in castrated male rats supplied with a testosterone or est

Abstract:

ABSTRACT It was found in previous studies that the neurotransmitter control of the secretion of LHRH and LH differs between long-term castrated and ovariectomized rats. One interpretation of these data was that there was a reduced 'positive drive' in the male, and the question was raised 'how do the gonadotrophs of long-term castrated rats maintain a high level of LH secretion?'. In the present series of experiments, evidence for a reduced dependence of the gonadotrophs upon LHRH stimulation is provided. Although sensitivity to native LHRH was not completely lost in long-term castrated rats, t

Abstract:

Leuprolide is the first member of the class of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist analog to be released in the U.S. The pharmacology of leuprolide is complex and not yet completely defined. This agonist analog is more potent than natural GnRH and appears to be capable of occupying pituitary GnRH receptors. This results in a “down regulation” of the receptors' activity and gonadotropin release, ultimately decreasing serum testosterone levels to those seen following castration. Leuprolide has been found effective in the palliative treatment of advanced cases of prostatic cancer and is

Prostate cancer is cancer of the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. Most prostate cancers are slow growing; however, some grow relatively quickly. The cancer cells may spread from the prostate to other area of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. Factors that increase the risk of prostate cancer include older age, a family history of the disease, and race. About 99% of cases occur in males over the age of 50. Clinical features include hematuria, dysuria (painful urination),nocturia(urination at night). Lower blood levels of vitami D may increase the risk of develop

LH-β mRNA increased significantly (≃50%) within 12h, and thereafter progressively to seven times intact control values by 3 weeks after orchidectomy. The changes in α mRNA were likely to have occurred in gonadotrophs and not thyrotrophs, since TSH-β mRNA
