title: [Effects of testosterone propionate on LH and testosterone concentrations before and after the injection of gonadoliberin in young bulls pre-treated with dexamethasone].
abstract: This preliminary study has been performed on four young twin bulls, one pair aged 6 months and the other one aged 12 months. Plasma LH and testosterone were assayed from frequent blood sampling. Testosterone propionate (TP) following dexamethasone treatment did not significantly influence the LH response to gonadoliberin compared to the twin controls, although testosterone concentrations were high in those TP treated animals.
