Abstract

Comparison of the neonatal effects of FSH and TSH in the cockerel testicle test revealed that the latter caused a greater increase of testicular weight, tubular diameter and testicular interstitial tissue. This finding suggests the possibility of FSH-TSH functional overlap during the perinatal critical period of receptor maturation.

Key words
