Figure 1

Testosterone concentration (ng/mL) in (A) the blood plasma and (B) the seminal plasma of control (served as sires for breeding females, n = 20) and infertile (inability to achieve conception in fertile females after persistent attempts over one [7 months] or more breeding seasons, n = 40) dromedary camels. Different letters denote significant differences at p < 0.05.
