The effect of gonadotrophins on the steroidogenesis,in the ovary and testis of gonadotrophin-deprived fresh water teleost,Cyprinus carpio

Summary Studies have been made on the effect of LH, FSH, and LH+FSH on the gonadal steroidogenesis in gonadotrophin-deprived common carp. LH alone and in combination with FSH was more effective than FSH in stimulation of steroidogenesis.Acknowledgment. K.K. is thankful to University Grants Commission, Govt. of India, for a fellowship.
