Exposure to testosterone during development masculinizes the genitalia and behaviour of ewes (Clarke, Scaramuzzi & Short, 1976a; Clarke, 1977) and causes ovulatory failure (Clarke, Scaramuzzi & Short, 1977). Androgenized ewes do not release luteinizing hormone (LH) after oestrogen treatment during anoestrus (Clarke, Scaramuzzi & Short, 1976b). These experiments were performed to determine the site of action (hypothalamus or anterior pituitary gland) of prenatally administered androgens in blocking the preovulatory release of LH.
Finnish Landrace × Dorset Horn ewes were used in their second breeding season after exposure to testosterone between days 30 and 80 (D30–80, n = 6), 50 and 100 (D50–100, n = 1), 70 and 120 (D70–120, n = 6) or 90 and 140 (D90–140, n = 5) of prenatal life (Clarke et al. 1976a). Eight normal ewes served as controls. To facilitate
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
