Dietary regimens have been shown to influence the secretion of gonadotrophins (Mulinos & Pomerantz, 1940; Leathem, 1958; Srebnik & Nelson, 1963), the changes occurring as the result of decreased hypothalamic content of FSH-RF and LH-RF (Piacsek & Meites, 1967) or FSH-RF activity (Negro-Vilar et al., 1971). Root & Russ (1972) demonstrated that fasting reduced serum FSH levels in intact male rats whereas Howland (1971a) reported that no change occurred in fasted female rats. Root & Russ (1972) and Ibrahim & Howland (1972) found that castration increased serum FSH levels, but the release of FSH was inhibited in the females and increased in the males when they were also fasted. A similar increase in FSH secretion in both sexes has been shown many times (Benson et al., 1969; Ibrahim & Howland, 1972; Howland & Skinner, 1973; Stewart et
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.
