Morphology of the external genitalia of the adult male and female mice as an endpoint of sex differentiation

TL;DR: Previous results from evaluation of "non-traditional" mammals are presented to demonstrate the complex process of sex differentiation that involves not only androgen-dependent processes, but also estrogen-dependent and hormone-independent mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel epididymal protease inhibitors with Kazal or WAP family domain.

TL;DR: It is hypothesize that the protease inhibitors discovered represent a group of epididymal genes that contribute to the regulation of sperm maturation by regulating the proteolytic processing of the sperm membrane during epidIDymal transit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of aromatization in anticipatory and consummatory aspects of sexual behavior in male rats.

TL;DR: The view that aromatization is important for maintaining both the appetitive and the consummatory aspects of sexual behavior in male rats is supported.

Induction, deduction, and the scientific method an eclectic overview of the practice of science

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method to solve the problem of "uniformity" and "uncertainty" in the context of health care, and propose a solution.

Book ChapterDOI

Seasonal breeding:nature's contraceptive.

TL;DR: The seasonal cycle highlights the seasonal changes in daylight length, rutting behavior, testicular diameter, sexual skin flush, and concentrations of plasma follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, and testosterone in a group of rams throughout the year.
Journal ArticleDOI

The physiological responses of anovulatory ewes to the introduction of rams: a review.

TL;DR: Ewes of many breeds can be stimulated to ovulate by the reintroduction of rams and appear to be effected both through a delay in the onset of the LH surge and through a direct action of progesterone on the ovary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors affecting the secretion of luteinizing hormone in the ewe.

TL;DR: LH is secreted as discrete pulses throughout all stages of the reproductive cycle of the ewe, including pre‐pubertal, seasonal and lactational anoestrus, and the luteal and follicular phases of the oestrous cycle.

Nutritional influences on reproduction in mature male sheep and goats

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nutritional signals exert powerful effects on the reproductive system of mature male ruminants, and the responses are partly independent of changes in gonadotrophin secretion.
