Abstract

After injection of castrated rams with 600 mg testosterone or testosterone propionate, plasma LH levels were biphasic, with significant decreases at 6-10 and 96 h after treatment. These results support the suggestion that testosterone acts at the hypothalamo-pituitary level by two different mechanisms.
