(8) Moreover, the levels of these parameters were comparable in tumours whether implanted in non-castrated or gonadectomized animals.
(9) Castration of male rats results in a decrease in submandibular gland RSKG-7 mRNA, which can be restored to the normal level by treatment with thyroxine or testosterone.

(14) Rat dorsal prostate epithelium was studied in intact adult animals, in animals castrated for three days and in rats after inhibition of prolactin secretion.
(15) The ability of melatonin to influence LH pulse frequency in entire and castrated rams indicated that an effect of melatonin on the hypothalamic pulse generator is independent of testicular steroids.
(16) The treatment with supraphysiological doses of the gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue Buserelin results in the suppression of serum testosterone to castration range with a probability of 95% after 28 days.
(17) To determine the effect of photoperiod on substance P, peptide containing neurons were counted in (1) enucleates (n = 6), (2) enucleated castrates treated with testosterone (n = 6), (3) castrates treated with testosterone (n = 4), and (4) intact controls (n = 6).
(18) In addition, there was a marginally significant (P less than 0.1) relationship between prolactin secretion in the castrate ram and the stage of testicular activity in the entire rams with elevated levels associated with regressed activity.

Expurgation
Definition:
(n.) The act of expurgating, purging, or cleansing; purification from anything noxious, offensive, sinful, or erroneous.
Example Sentences:
(1) One approach is less aggressive, whether as to the expurgation or excision of the surrounding area of the breast; in certain cases, treatment may be combined with radiation and the surgery minimized.
(2) Over a period of seven months, we evaluated the effect of this maneuver for 125 consecutive patients by means of (1) a report on the patient's reactions, completed by a nurse after she reviewed the record with the patient; (2) a report by the physician stating whether he had expurgated the record for patient use, and recording his observations of patient and family reaction; (3) a questionnaire mailed to patients after discharge.
(3) the clearing of the theoretical field through expurgating all pre-scientific ideologies jeopardizing the growth of scientific concepts; and b) a positive-constructive one, or the actual building up of a science through the production of the formal-abstract object, using ontically indeterminate raw material.
