Effects of molybdenosis on luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating and estradiol hormones in rats
This work studies the effect of molybdenum on estrous activity and reproductive hormones: LH, FSH and estradiol. Twenty one Wistar weanling female rats were assigned to three experimental groups, A: Control, B: Copper deficiency and C: Molybdenum toxicity. All groups were fed with 70% cow milk (1 pp...

All groups were fed with 70% cow milk (1 ppm Cu) and 30% corn meal (0.8 ppm Cu).
