In vitro interstitial (Leydig) cell response to LH and concentrations of plasma testosterone and LH in the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber, Ruppell)
(1991)
Reproductive endocrinology of the male naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) caught in the wild was studied. In vitro treatment of isolated Leydig cells using either normal dose of LH capable of stimulating mice Leydig ...
Early testicular response to intraperitoneal administration of ethane dimethanesulphonate (EDS) in the goat (Capra hircus).
(2001)
Early morphological changes in the goat testis after a single intraperitoneal injection of ethane dimethanesulphonate (EDS) were investigated using both light and electron microscopy. The compound was administered at two ...
Host range determination of tsetse fly Glossina morsitans submorsitans by bloodmeal analysis in the upper Didessa River valley (Western Ethiopia)
(2001-12)
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was employed to determine the rate of digestion of blood proteins ingested by teneral and non-teneral laboratory reared Glossina morsitans morsitans at different time intervals ...
Haematological and biomedical changes in cattle poisoned by Gnidia latifolia syn. lasiosiphon latifolius (thymelaeaceae)
(1982)
Haematological and serum biochemical examinations were carried out on 12 high grade bull caves fed Gnidia latifolia (Meisn). This resulted in lymphocytopaenia, increased blood urea nitrogen and lactate dehydrogenase. There ...

In Vitro Production of Testosterone and Plasma Levels of Luteinising Hormone, Testosterone and Cortisol in Male Rats Treated with Heptachlor
(Elsevier,, 1997)
Male rats were divided into six groups of five rats each. Rats were injected subcutaneously with different concentrations of heptachlor for 2 weeks. Heptachlor at all doses significantly suppressed plasma testosterone ...
Reaction of Potato Cultivars to Natural Infestation of Late Blight Caused by Phytophthora infestans in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2008)
The late blight resistance and yield characteristics of 32 potato genotypes were studied at KARI-Tigoni between 2006 and 2007 under natural late blight inoculums pressure. Foliar late blight resistance was assessed on the ...
