The concentration of testosterone pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide and protamine 1 in the serum of male chicken following administration of epididymis and testicular extracts and their combination

摘要

Bakcground and Aim:Testis and epididymis are male reproductive organs that play an important role in spermatogenesis>. These two organs are rich in the content of hormones and other molecules needed in the process of spermatogenesis which affect the quality of the spermatozoa. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of the administration of epididymis and testicular extracts and their combination on testosterone, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), and protamine 1 (PRM1) concentrations in the serum of male chicken.
