Barrell, G.K. (1985) Seasonal profiles of plasma testosterone, prolactin and growth hormone in red deer stags.
Biology of Deer Production. Royal Society of NZ
Investigation changes in plasma testosterone and prolactin levels in adult red deer stags in NZ and related these to the antler growth cycle. The results of the study support the view that high levels of testicular steroids are required for antler hardening and that casting of antlers is associated with diminished testicular secretion of steroids. Also indicated a possible association between prolactin secretion and the antler casting process
