Hyperprolactinemia is not associated with hyperestrogenism in noncycling African elephants (Loxodonta africana)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2013
African elephants in US zoos are not reproducing at replacement levels. This is in part due to physiological problems, one of which is abnormal ovarian cyclicity that has been linked to increased prolactin secretion (hyperprolactinemia). A relationship between increased estrogen production (hyperestrogenism) and hyperprolactinemia has been found in ...

The fluidity of blood in African elephants (Loxodonta africana).

Clinical hemorheology and microcirculation, 2006
The large cellular volume of erythrocytes and the increased plasma concentration of proteins in elephants are factors which potentially affect blood rheology adversely. To verify blood rheology, routine hemorheologic variables were analyzed in four African elephants (Loxodonta africana), housed in the zoo of Vienna.
