Effects of dietary magnesium on testicular histology, steroidogenesis, spermatogenesis and oxidative stress markers in adult rats.

TL;DR: The results suggests that the changes that occurred after excessive magnesium in testis were not for the enhanced adrenocortical activities or for the generation of oxidative stress in reproductive organs, but for the direct action of excess magnesium on male gonads.

Excessive dietary calcium in the disruption of structural and functional status of adult male reproductive system in rat with possible mechanism

TL;DR: Overall observations suggest that excessive dietary calcium enhances the generation of free-radicals resulting in structural and functional disruption of male reproduction.

Stress and Reproduction in Amphibians

TL;DR: The chapter summarizes recent developments in understanding of the neural and endocrine pathways that mediate stressor effects on reproduction and the role of glucocorticoids in energy metabolism during reproduction in amphibians.

Dose-dependent effect of copper chloride on male reproductive function in immature rats

TL;DR: It is suggested that copper has got a dose-dependent effect on testicular steroidogenic enzyme activity and stimulation of testicular spermatogenesis and serum testosterone and LH level in maturing male rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of steroid hormones on spermatogenesis and GnRH release in male Leopard frogs, Rana pipiens.

TL;DR: This is the first study to report the direct measurement of GnRH secretion in a poikilothermic tetrapod and revealed potent but sometimes paradoxical effects of steroid hormones, especially E(2), on the reproductive regulation of the male R. pipiens.

Plasma corticosterone in chicks reared under several lighting schedules

TL;DR: Around-the-clock sampling revealed a diurnal corticosterone rhythm, with high daytime levels and lower night-time levels, and this rhythm appeared to be retained in constant light, although phase shifted or free running.

Production of Congenital Adrenocortical Hyperplasia in Rats by Estradiol-17β and Inhibition of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase

TL;DR: Large doses of estradiol-17β were administered to pregnant rats in order to determine whether the paradoxical effects of this estrogen on fetal genital differentiation could be attributed to inhibition of activity of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-ol dehydrogensase).

Effect of Prolonged ACTH Administration on the Gonads of Sexually Mature Chickens

TL;DR: The investigation reported herein was undertaken to measure the effects of prolonged administration of ACTH on the gonads and adrenals of sexually mature chickens.
