Diurnal rhythm of 5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one and testosterone in peripheral plasma of boars.
Testosterone and the boar taint steroid 5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one were determined radioimmunologically in peripheral plasma of 3 boars. A modified extraction procedure for the latter compound was established and its reliability confirmed. Samples of plasma were taken every 30 min during three 48 h periods.
