1 Abstract In order to get better characterization of androgenic hormones on the functionality of the alpha(2)-adrenergic system and widen our previous studies, we investigated the effect of clonidine on the growth hormone (GH) secretion in male Wistar rats of various ages: 7-, 14- and 30-day old and adult, adult male castrated rats with and without testosterone treatment. Clonidine gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor Rattus norvegicus
2 Abstract In order to get better characterization of androgenic hormones on the functionality of the alpha(2)-adrenergic system and widen our previous studies, we investigated the effect of clonidine on the growth hormone (GH) secretion in male Wistar rats of various ages: 7-, 14- and 30-day old and adult, adult male castrated rats with and without testosterone treatment. Clonidine gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor Rattus norvegicus
3 Two different patterns of the GH response to clonidine have been observed in the control and testosterone-treated young animals: clonidine at the dose 15 mug/kg intraperitoneally had no effect on the GH secretion in 7- to 14-day old rat pups. Clonidine gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor Rattus norvegicus
4 In 30-day old rats clonidine affected GH secretion and this influence was more pronounced in the testosterone-treated animals than in the controls. Clonidine gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor Rattus norvegicus
5 The decrease in the circulating testosterone levels caused by castration in adult male rats caused a decreased GH response to clonidine. Clonidine gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor Rattus norvegicus
