Young sexually naive (3-4 months) and sexually experienced (2-3 years) male rabbits were subjected to various sexual stimulation procedures. Blood samples were taken just before and 30 min after mounting (unreceptive females) or coitus (receptive females). Testosterone and luteinizing hormone were assayed using specific radioimmunoassays. Sexual stimulation did not affect postcoital testosterone and LH levels in naive and experienced males while in females LH levels were significantly increased. We may conclude that the postcoital neuroendocrine reflex which causes a massive release of pituitary LH in female rabbit does not exist in males.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), also known as Müller duct inhibitory factor and primarily known for its role in sexual differentiation. In female fetuses, AMH production by granulosa cells begins around the 36th week of gestation and continues in women until menopause. It is becoming more significant in the endocrine and gynecological diagnosis of adult women.

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the parameters of reproductive anatomy and pituitary hormone expression levels in ames dwarf mice ).
Materials And Methods: Male mice aged 30 days received daily intraperitoneal injections of recombinant human GH and levothyroxine three times weekly for 60 days. The sexual maturation of these animals was compared with that of their wild-type ( ) and untreated ( ) siblings.

Background: Silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is a basal fish species with sexual monomorphism, while its sex determination mechanism has been poorly understood, posing a significant challenge to its captive breeding efforts.
Results: We constructed two high-quality chromosome-level genome assemblies for both female and male silver arowana, with scaffold N50 values over 10 Mb. Combining re-sequencing data of 109 individuals, we identified a female-specific region, which was localized in a non-coding region, i.

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous neuropsychological disorder characterized by three distinct sets of symptoms: positive, negative, and cognitive. It carries significant public health implications and is estimated to affect up to 1% of the population. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanisms of schizophrenia are not entirely understood, and existing antipsychotic treatments have notable limitations.
