Plasma and testicular testosterone concentrations in the frog, Rana esculenta, were studied by radioimmunoassay and showed similar seasonal fluctuations.

Pituitary products and gonadotrophin releasing hormone, and the responsiveness of the testis to these substances play an important role in determining the hormone profile.
