GnRH IMPLANTS IN CAPTIVE MALE GREEN IGUANAS
Original language description
The aim of the present study was the suppression of the reptile reproduction activity using the GnRH agonist deslorelin (Suprelorin? 4.7 mg).In many species it suppresses the pituitary-gonadal-axis activity and leads to reduced reproduction activity including the male sexual behaviour and plasma hormone levels. Subject to this study were captive male green iguanas (Iguana iguana). Prior to the experiment, blood samples were collected from thirteen adult healthy iguana males twice within their quiescentreproductive phase (May, June). Plasma concentrations of testosterone (T) were measured using a competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA), validated by using a high performance liquid chromatography assay (HPLC). The GnRH implants were administered subcutaneously to eight iguana males (experimental group A). Five iguana males were sham operated (control group B). All animals (A, B) were kept under experimental conditions, separated but together with an adult healthy female. The aggressive and
