What's the difference between castration and orchotomy?

Castration

Definition:

(n.) The act of castrating.

Example Sentences:

(1) Intact rams exhibited GH secretory episodes of greater (P less than 0.01) amplitude than did castrated lambs.
(2) Positive feedback effects on serum gonadotrophins in castrates were observed following injection of certain doses of some steroids.
(3) In contrast, castration during pseudopregnancy did not abolish the secondary peaks.
(4) No specific labeling could be detected in the adrenocorticotrophs of adrenalectomized rats or gonadotrophs (castration cells) of castrated rats.
(5) In a final experiment, prostatic atrophy in castrate rats was not enhanced by either adrenalectomy or flutamide treatment.
(6) Castrated rams did not show this increase, with or without supplementary testosterone.
(7) Naloxone also prevented testosterone's negative feedback inhibition of serum LH in the castrated male rat.
(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.
(10) In vivo administration of anti-EGF antibody or anti-TGF-alpha antibody significantly reduced estrogen-induced labelling index in castrated mouse uterus.
(11) In castrates, the prostatic stroma became thickened, with a large increase in fibrous material between and surrounding each acinus, although smooth muscle cells retained their normal cytology.

(13) Adreno-cortical compensation of the concentration of the hormone did not occur in the post-castration period.
(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.
(19) In terms of total cellular receptor content, initial levels were higher in castrate animals, but rapidly fell to intact levels within an hour following estradiol injection.
(20) The effect of naloxone administration on the LH-RH secretion in hypophyseal portal blood and LH secretion in peripheral blood was studied in four short term castrated rams (between 2 to 4 days after castration).
