Radioimmunoassay of LH in blood plasma of farm animals.

Abstract: A radioimmunoassay technique has been developed for measuring LH in blood plasma of cattle, sheep and pigs, by using an antiserum against bovine LH. Either ovine or bovine LH could be used for labelling and calibration curves in case of these two species, while porcine LH was to be taken in case of pigs. Working range of the calibration curve was 0.3 to 20 ng/ml. The between-assay error ranged from 17 to 7.5% between 1 to 5 ng/ml, the within-assay error from 10 to 4%, respectively. A system of quality control of the assay was developed, based on a series of pretested sera by using the chi-square function.

Prenatal stress as possible aetiogenetic factor of homosexuality in human males.

Abstract: Out of 865 homosexual males who were registered by venerologists in 6 districts of the GDR highly significantly more homosexuals were born during the stressful war and early postwar period of the Second World War, i.e. between 1941 and 1947 (with a maximum of relative frequency in 1944-1945), than in the years before or after this critical period. This finding suggests that stressful prenatal (or perinatal) events may represent an aetiogenetic factor for homosexuality in human males.
