From: A comparison of human chorionic gonadotropin and luteinizing hormone releasing hormone on the induction of spermiation and amplexus in the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus)

Figure 2

Sperm concentration (x 106/ml) produced by male Anaxyrus americanus over 24 hrs after hormone administration with either hCG (Panel A) or LHRH (Panel B). Male toads were treated with 3 different concentrations of hCG at 100 IU (triangles); 200 IU (squares) or 300 IU (diamonds). Alternatively, males were treated with 4 different concentrations of LHRH at 0.1 μg (circles); 1.0 μg (triangles); 4 μg (squares) or 32 μg (diamonds). Only one male administered 50 IU hCG produced sperm and was not included in Panel A. Data are expressed as Mean ± SEM; lower SEM bars not shown. For number of animals comprising each treatment Mean see Figure 1.
