Androgen response of cryptorchid and intact rams to ovine LH

Summary. Surgically induced cryptorchidism in rams resulted in elevated serum concentrations of LH but near-normal concentrations of androgen (testosterone and 5-DHT). Injections of ovine LH (2 x 50 µg; 2 x 500 µg) resulted in maximal androgen secretion in the intact rams and similar but lower concentrations in cryptorchid rams. Peak concentrations were 14·9 and 8·5 ng/ml in the intact and cryptorchid rams respectively (P < 0·05).
