ABSTRACT
Farkhondeh S, Nasrullah RP, Mehri A, Nazanin F, Khosrow C. Effect
of follicle-stimulating hormone on progesterone and follicle size of Laudakia nupta lizards
determined by ultrasonography Onl J Vet Res., 22 (9):856-870, 2018. Authors
describe effect of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on serum progesterone
level and ovarian follicle growth L. nupta measured
by ultrasonography. Five adult wild Laudakia nupta captured during the
non-reproductive season were given FSH daily by intraperitoneal injection
for 14 days and blood taken for immunoassay of serum progesterone at days 0, 7
and 14. Ovarian follicles were measured by ultrasound at day 0, 7 and 14. At
day 0 mean serum progesterone was 1ng/ml, Day 7, 1.76ng/ml, and Day 14,
2.45ng/ml. At day 0, follicles measured 1.79 to 2.11, day 7, 3.52 to 4.26, and day
14, 4.30 to 5.19 mm. We find that FSH stimulates progesterone production and
follicle growth in Laudakia nupta.
