Overview

Randomized trial investigates hormone dynamics in dromedary camels, suggesting age and sex impact physiology.

Key Points

  • This study investigates how age and sex influence thyrotroph morphology and thyroid hormone levels in dromedary camels.
  • 90 clinically healthy Brela breed camels aged 2 to ≥11 years grouped by age and sex
  • Performed immunohistochemical analysis for TSH-producing thyrotrophs on pituitary tissues (n=60)
  • Measured plasma TSH, T3, and T4 concentrations using ELISA
  • Older camels (≥11 years) showed significantly increased cell and nuclear dimensions (p<0.05)
  • Plasma TSH levels decreased with age, with peak levels in females aged 5–10 years
  • T3 levels were higher in younger males, while T4 levels declined with age but were not significantly influenced by sex (p>0.05)
