| 1 | Effect of hCG administration on the relationship between testicular steroids and indolic compounds in fat and plasma in entire male pigs. | Steroids | hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Our objective was to evaluate pigs injected with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as a potential model to study the effect of high testicular steroid levels on the variation in indolic compounds. | Steroids | hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | HCG injection increased the levels of testicular steroids (androstenone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, oestrone sulphate and oestrone; p<0.001), and indole levels in plasma and fat (p<0.05). | Steroids | hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | We concluded that hCG-injected pigs might be useful for studying factors responsible for the role of testicular steroids in the occurrence of high indole levels. | Steroids | hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | Pre-selection of sires based on plasma skatole levels affected both the levels of indolic compounds and testicular steroids, especially in fat, which might have suppressed the response to hCG. | Steroids | hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) | Homo sapiens |
