Gonadotropin-releasing hormone II receptor (GnRHR-II) knockdown reduces testis size and decreases testosterone secretion during pubertal development in swine

An abstract of a study by Desaulniers et al examining the function of GnRHR-II. In conclusion, Gn- RHR-II is involved in LH-independent steroidogenesis and postnatal testicular development. Partially supported by NIFA Hatch (NEB-26-199; BRW) and AFRI (2011-67015; CAL) funds. USDA is an equal opportu...
