Description
Summary:An abstract of the study by DeCarlo et al identifying the presence or absence of the mRNA for bovine PRL (bPRL) and its rate-limiting enzyme, tyrosine hydroxylase (bTH) in bull testis and epididymis, is discussed. Testis tissues were obtained from bulls 16 to 18 months of age at time of slaughter and the tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen. The study revealed that PRL present in bull seminal fluid could be produced in male reproductive tissues.
