Fluctuations of serum gonadotropins and their specific protein binding capacities during stages of follicular development in she-camel

ABSTRACT

Both serum FSH and LH levels as well as their specific protein binding activity were determined during different phases of follicular development in she camels using the ELISA technique. Gonadotropins and their specific binding capacities in the serum showed certain fluctuation which match with the requirements of the functional activity of the ovaries. It was concluded that ovarian activity in she camel depends not only on the level of serum gonadotropins but also on the variations of their specific binding potencies
