Summary.

Normal, male rabbits were either allowed to copulate with receptive females, or were injected with human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg), or with adrenocorticotrophic hormone (acth). Copulation and hcg injection produced significant increases in plasma testosterone while acth administration failed to do so. Rabbits treated with either chloropromazine or fluoxymestrone before copulation did not increase plasma levels of testosterone following coitus.

Reproduction 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.
