The prostate response to prolactin modulation in adult castrated rats subjected to testosterone replacement
(2017-12-01)
Despite the androgenic dependence, other hormones, growth factors, and cytokines are necessary to support prostatic growth and maintain the glandular structure; among them, prolactin is a non-steroidal hormone secreted ...
Castration methods do not affect weight gain and have diverse impacts on the welfare of water buffalo males
(2011-09-01)
Castration is used to improve the management of water buffalo beef males raised under extensive conditions. However, as buffalo are considered robust animals, their welfare is often neglected, which, among other implications, ...
Long-term weight gain and economic impact in pigs castrated under local anaesthesia
(2016-12-01)
Castration is a controversial practice in swine production because in some countries is still performed without anaesthesia, and therefore causes intense suffering and stress to animals. This study investigated the effect ...
Effects of castration and of testosterone replacement on alpha(1)-adrenoceptor subtypes in the rat vas deferens
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-06-20)
The contractions of the rat vas deferens in response to noradrenaline are mediated through alpha(1A)-adrenoceptors. We observed participation of alpha(1B)-adrenoceptors in these contractions after castration. We now ...

Remodeling of rat ventral prostate after castration involves heparanase-1
(Springer, 2008-05-01)
Androgen deprivation causes the rat ventral prostate to reduce to 10% of its original size by 21 days after castration. The regressive changes result from the loss of epithelial cells by apoptosis and marked reorganization ...

LHRH and rat avoidance behavior: Influence of castration and testosterone
(1983)
Pretraining subcutaneous administration of a high dose of LHRH (100 μg/kg) to intact rats impaired acquisition of a conditioned avoidance response (CAR) in a two way shuttle box. Acquisition of a CAR was also decreased ...
Morphology and biometric of the vesicular and bulbourethral glands in castrated and non-castrated Santa Ines breed sheep
(2013-07-31)
Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to determine the topography, biometry and light microscopy image of the vesicular and bulbourethral glands in order to analyze morphologic features of the accessory sexual glands ...
