In a number of species, including rats and mice (Bartke, Steele, Musto & Caldwell, 1973), bulls (Katangole, Naftolin & Short, 1971), and rams (Purvis, Illius & Haynes, 1974), there is evidence of episodic fluctuation of circulating levels of testosterone. It has generally been concluded that testosterone is released from the testis in a pulsatile fashion, temporally related to the episodic release of LH (Katangole et al., 1971; Moor & YoungLai, 1975).

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.
