“…This initial rise in LH secretion is necessary for differentiation and maturation of testicular Leydig cells, leading to the secretion of testosterone. Secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is high post-natally and plays a role in Sertoli cell differentiation, reaching a nadir at 25 weeks of age (Brito, 2014). These mechanisms are essential for the onset of spermatogenesis with sperm usually first observed at 32 weeks of age (Amann, 1983).…”

“…Increasing the plane of nutrition offered in the early calf-hood period has a positive effect on the metabolic status of bull calves. This, in turn, leads to an increase in concentrations of metabolic hormones such as IGF-1, which in turn stimulate GnRH secretion [34] and thus evoke a cascade of trans-tissue endocrinologically-mediated events, necessary for puberty to occur in the bull. The results of this study clearly demonstrate that both plane of nutrition and breed affect TT production in early calfhood with higher systemic concentrations evident in calves offered a high compared to low plane of nutrition and J calves having higher concentrations than F calves.…”

“…There was no effect of breed or plane of nutrition on systemic concentrations of FSH, following GnRH administration, but FSH did decrease with age. At birth, FSH concentrations are typically high and begin to decline at 14 weeks of age and are at their lowest concentrations by around 25 weeks of age in the bull [34]. This period coincides with a period of rapid proliferation of immature Sertoli cells [33] suggesting that FSH concentration in the young bull calf plays a role in determining future semen production potential.…”

“…Dentro de dichas neuronas, se detectó ARNm que interviene en la síntesis de IGF1, IGF2, receptores para IGF1 y de la proteína transportadora de IGF1 o IGF1Binding. Esto demuestra que las neuronas secretoras de GnRH, poseen una regulación autocrina del IGF1 (Brito, 2006;Brito, 2015).…”

“…Estos cambios progresarán hasta el desencadenamiento del pico temprano de gonadotrofinas durante el periodo prepuberal, ya que aumentan los pulsos secretorios de GnRH, en simultáneo a una marcada sensibilidad hipofisiaria hacia la GnRH, dada por una concentración elevada de receptores para dicha hormona (Brito, 2015).…”
