Reduced concentration of androstenone and upregulation of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase mRNA levels by active immunisation against gonadotropin releasing hormone I

Reduced concentration of androstenone and upregulation of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase mRNA levels by active immunisation against gonadotropin releasing hormone I

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of active immunisation against recombinant maltose binding protein-gonadotropin releasing hormone I (MBP-GnRH-I6) in preventing boar taint. The concentrations of testosterone and anti-GnRH-I antibodies in serum were determined by radioimmunoassay...
