Radioimmunoassay of 19 nor testosterone. Evidence of its secretion by the testis of the stallion.
Antiserum has been raised in rabbits treated with a 19 nor testosterone-hemisuccinate-bovine-serum-albumin conjugate and used for the development of a specific RIA of plasma 19 nor testosterone. Plasma samples are drawn from testicular and jugular veins of stallions during castration under general anesthesia. Results demonstrate a testicular secretion of 19 nor testosterone and a stress inhibition of this secretion correlatively with stress inhibition of testosterone secretion.
