| Chronic water deprivation induced severe disruption of the oestrous cyclein regularly cycling laboratory mice. Most of the water-deprived females became anoestrous from the beginningof water deprivation or after one complete cycle in the initial stages. The presence of a conspecificmale was ineffective in preventing the cycle disruption in water-deprived females. The inability of conspecificmales to prevent the water deprivation-induced disruption of oestrous cycle in females contrasts withthe ability of conspecific males to prevent the diet restriction-induced irregularities in the oestrouscycle in females. It is suggested that as compared with diet restriction, water deprivation induces agreater suppressive effect on the hypothalamo-hypophysial-gonadal axis in females which cannot be removedby the male-originating olfactory cues. |
