[Testosterone secretion and the gonadotropic function of the pituitary gland under condition of limited food intake].
Experimental data on testosterone secretion and gonadotropic function of the hypophysis and their changes under conditions of a limited nutritional ration are presented. Experimental rabbits proved to display a sharp fall of testosterone in the blood flowing from the testes and a rise of gonadotropic hormones in the hypophysis. The mentioned fact should be taken into consideration when the nutritional ration is diminished for experimental purpose or under clinical conditions on certain indications connected with the necessity of decreasing the caloric value and the quantity of food consumption.
