Résumé

Chez des rats mâles anésthésiés à l'éther avant la décapitation, on a observé une augmentation du niveau sérique de LH et de FSH, sans effet sur le niveau de testostérone. L'intervention chirurgicale subie 2 jours avant le sacrifice a fait diminuer seulement le niveau de LH. Les niveaux de LH, de FSH et de testostérone ont également diminué après 2 jours d'absence de nourriture.
