To date, there are no detailed reports of circulating levels of plasma α-tocopherol and retinol for large samples of free-ranging African elephants (Loxodonta africana). This survey study measured natural circulating levels of α-tocopherol as a measure of vitamin E activity and retinol as an indicat

The corpus luteum of African elephants produces high amounts of 5α-reduced progesterone metabolites (5α-pregnane-3,20-dione and 5-α-pregnane-3α-ol-20one), whereas progesterone itself is quantitatively less important, and plasma levels of progesterone during the estrous cycle in elephants are conside

Serum prolactin was quantified in adult female Asian (Elephas maximus) and African (Loxodonta africana) elephants during various reproductive states and the profiles compared to that in a noncycling African elephant. In reproductively normal elephants, there was no effect of season, estrous cycle st

We have previously shown that 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione (5α-DHP), and 5α-pregnane-3-ol-20-one (5α-P-3-OH) are the major luteal and circulating progestins in the African elephant. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine 1) circulating levels and patterns of secretion of 5α-DHP in relati
