Subordinate, female naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus g/aber) are anovulatory as a result of extremely low luteinising hormone (LH) levels. Evidence suggests that aggression from the dominant female naked mole-rat directed towards subordinates could produce these lowered levels of LH. This study examined two potential hormonal pathways of reproductive suppression in this species: endogenous opioid peptides and cortisol. 2014-08-13T14:10:39Z 2014-08-13T14:10:39Z 2006 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6202 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
