From: Decreased testosterone levels after caponization leads to abdominal fat deposition in chickens
Sex hormone levels in capons vs. control chickens. a and (c) Serum and AF testosterone levels were significantly reduced in capons compared with sham-operated control chickens. 14 wk. after caponization, testosterone levels were measured with an ELISA kit. b Serum estradiol levels were not different between the capons and the control chickens. 14 wk. after caponization, serum estradiol levels were detected with an ELISA kit. Data are means ± SEM, n = 10. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
