Androgen-sterilized female rats were obtained by administering 10 μg testosterone propionate to pups on day 2 after birth. In contrast with ovariectomized adults, androgenized adult female rats are incapable of responding to cervical stimulation by secreting prolactin in the nocturnal surge pattern. In spite of the loss of this pattern the androgenized female rats still exhibited a daily circadian rhythm of prolactin secretion with afternoon levels three times higher than those after midnight.
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.
