Effects of a single dose of long-acting FSH on testicular blood flow, testicular echotexture, and circulating testosterone, estradiol, and nitric oxide in rams during the non-breeding season

H. Samir et al.

Summary: The present study investigated the effect of a single administration of long-acting follicle stimulation hormone (FSH) on testicular blood perfusion in rams during the non-breeding season. The results showed that FSH administration significantly decreased the Doppler indices and pixel intensity of testicular parenchyma, while increasing the concentrations of estradiol (E2) and nitric oxide (NO).

Effects of melatonin administration on testicular hemodynamics, echotexture, steroids production, and semen parameters during the non-breeding season in Ossimi rams

A. S. El-Shalofy et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of melatonin injection on testicular hemodynamics, echotexture, plasma testosterone concentration, and sperm quality characteristics in Ossimi rams during the non-breeding season. The results showed that melatonin significantly improved testicular vascular irrigation, testosterone production, and sperm quality parameters, including motility, viability, and normal morphology. These findings suggest that melatonin administration can enhance testicular function in Ossimi rams.

Advances in applications of color Doppler ultrasonography in the andrological assessment of domestic animals: A review

Haney Samir et al.

Summary: The potential applications of Doppler imaging technology in farm animals are mostly limited to females, particularly in assessing testicular blood perfusion. Color Doppler ultrasonography plays a crucial role in evaluating blood flow to the testis in various animal species. Despite the significant studies highlighting the importance of TBP assessment, there are still limitations in routine on-farm application for breeding soundness assessments.

Melatonin improves testicular haemodynamics, echotexture and testosterone production in Ossimi rams during the breeding season

Amr El-Shalofy et al.

Summary: The study shows that administration of melatonin significantly alters testicular blood flow and echogenicity, and increases plasma testosterone concentrations in Ossimi rams during the breeding season. The effects of melatonin on the testes include a decrease in blood flow indices and testicular echogenicity in the first week after injection, which persists until the end of the experiment.
