In utero and lactational exposure of male rats to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. 1. Effects on androgenic status.

TL;DR: When administered in overtly toxic doses to postpubescent rats, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) produces a variety of adverse effects on the male reproductive system including a decrease in plasma androgen concentrations as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship between circulating testosterone levels and male sexual behavior in rats

TL;DR: It was concluded that the absence of relationships between circulating T and sexual behavior in the normal rat population is due to the androgen requirement for this behavior being less than the amount normally present.

Current Practices and Controversies in Assisted Reproduction

TL;DR: It is necessary to select patients suitable for microsurgery and in-vitro fertilisation on the basis of prior history, once they have shown signs of tubal disease and the prognosis is poor for others.

Changes in the pituitary-testicular system with age.

TL;DR: The evidence is consistent with a primary decrease in testicular function over the age of 40 years, and the metabolic clearance rates (MCR) of testosterone and oestradiol also fell in old age, while the conversion of testosterone to ostradiol was increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Daily spermatozoal production, epididymal spermatozoal reserves and transit time of spermatozoa through the epididymis of the rhesus monkey.

TL;DR: The results indicate that sperm matures within the epididymis of this species within 5 days, even though a 265-fold difference in epidodymal reserves was found.

Testosterone secretion and metabolism in male senescence

TL;DR: It was observed that plasma testosterone levels and the apparent free plasma testosterone concentration remain within the same range from adolescence until the age of 50 yr, but that from the 6th decade on, the mean plasma levels decrease rather rapidly, with a wide range of individual values.

Fluctuations in Plasma Testosterone Levels in Adult Male Rats and Mice

TL;DR: Large and irregular changes in plasma levels of T are unlike the fairly stable levels observed in the human but bear certain resemblance to the pulsatile release of T described in bulls and rams and perhaps also to the social dominance related differences in plasma T levels in Rhesus monkeys.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Source of Plasma Dihydrotestosterone in Man

TL;DR: It is suggested that dihydrotestosterone in the blood does not arise from direct secretion but may reflect events occurring in peripheral androgen target tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of dihydrotestosterone on sexual behavior of castrated male rhesus monkeys.

TL;DR: DHTP effectively rendered the performance level of the castrates comparable to that of the intact controls, and was effective in pair tests with receptive females.
