Influence of thyroid hormones and testosterone on the activities of hepatic mitochondrial enzymes in the Indian garden lizard, Calotes versicolor.

Abstract:

:Thyroidectomy and castration in Calotes versicolor significantly decreased the activities of hepatic mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH), and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) when compared to sham-operated controls. Administration of thyroid hormones in thyroidectomized lizards and testosterone in castrated specimens stimulated the activities of all three enzymes studied. Chloramphenicol, when injected with thyroxine prevented the hormone-stimulated activities of cytochrome oxidase and SDH, while actinomycin D and chloramphenicol, when administered along with testosterone propionate (low dose) prevented the testosterone-stimulated activities of cytochrome oxidase and alpha-GPDH.

  • Neurons that co-localize aromatase- and kisspeptin-like immunoreactivity may regulate the HPG axis of the Mallard drake (Anas platyrhynchos).

    abstract::Kisspeptin is a potent regulator of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. The activation of several vernal and pubertal behaviors involves the action of locally synthesized estradiol by hypothalamic aromatase-expressing neurons. Little is known about kisspeptin in non-mammalian systems, and its interaction with arom...
