The aim of present study was to investigate testosterone
patterns before and after GnRH injection and to determined the effieacy of
GnRH on indueing libido activity in male Anatolian shepherd dogs.
A GnRH- analogue (Buserelin) was administered at the dosage of 25 /Lg
to 2 to 5- years old intramusculGlY, 6 pure breed Anatolian shepherd male
dogs. Peripheral plasnıa testosterone concentrations (T) were measured before
and after GnRH injections. Blood sanıples were taken before GnRH injection
and after GnRH injection every 60 nıin for a period of 3h. Plasma testosterone
concentrati01IS were deternıined by the radioimmunoassay. Before GnRH
injections, plasma T leve/s were obtained 2.4:1:1.6 ng/nıl. T levels were obtained 5AH.05, 3.2i:l. L. 3.0iO.8 ng/ml respectively. 1h, 2h and 3h after the iI~iection.
According to the results, T leve/s of all the dogs reached the maximum level
lh after GnRH injections (PO.OOl). We concluded that GnRH teratment induced
transitory inLTeases in the testosterone concentration in pure breed Anatolian
shepherd male dogs and it has been proved that this procedure may be helpful
in order to stimulate libido for breeding dogs to a great extent.
