Abstract:
Head irradiation with 10 Gy X-rays was given to adrenalectomized male rats in the present study to observe the changes of serum LH, FSH and testosterone (TS) levels and testcular cAMP content. The results showed that the function of pituitary-gonad axis decreased in the adrenalectomized male rats. The levels of serum LH and FSH were lower, (P0.05). The changes might be related to the interaction of both hypothalamic CRF and GnRH neurons. Both the serum TS level (P
