Gonadectomy decreases testosterone levels during acute CVB3-induced myocarditis. Male BALB/c mice were infected with 103 PFU CVB3 ip on day 0, after recovery from gonadectomy (Gdx) or sham operation, and testosterone levels in the sera (A) or heart (B) were measured by ELISA at day 12 pi. Similar results were obtained in 3 separate experiments. Data show the mean ±SEM of 7 to 10 mice/ group. *, p < 0.05.
