Effect of altered thyroid and adrenal activity on the seasonal reproduction of the Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti

Abstract: SINGH, A.B., and CHATURVEDI, C.M. 1993. Effect of altered thyroid and adrenal activity on the seasonal reproduction of the Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti. Can. J. Zool. 71 : 1558 -156 1. Thiouracil and metyrapone administered during the progression phase of the annual reproductive cycle inhibited gonadal development in the Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti. In a further experiment, these drugs led to normal gonadal regression during the late breeding phase. Thyroxine and corticosterone treat… Show more

“…Further, 12-h temporal phase relations of neural oscillations alter the photo sexual responses of immature Japanese quail while the 8-h relation of serotonergic and dopaminergic drugs induce reproductive regression in quail under relatively short-day lengths (<11 h) and exhibit scotosensitive responses under short days (Bhatt and Chaturvedi, 1992a). Specific phase relations of neural oscillations are also reported to modulate reproduction in mammals whether seasonal (Syrian hamster- Wilson and Meier, 1989;Indian Palm Squirrel-(Chaturvedi and Jaiwal, 1990;Jaiwal and Chaturvedi, 1991;Chaturvedi and Singh, 1992;Singh and Chaturvedi, 1993) or continuous breeders (laboratory mice- Sethi and Chaturvedi, 2009;Sethi et al, 2010). Thus, both photoperiod and specific temporal phase relations of neural oscillations appear to be regulators of gonadal development/activity in many avian and mammalian species.…”
