Male birds were divided in 
to three groups, each with eight individuals. Group 1 was control group. Group  II was 0 hr group received 5-HTP and L-DOPA 
at 0 hr interval. Group III was 8 hr group and received these neurotransmitter precursor drugs at 8 hr interval. Experimentat ions 
were  terminated  after  10  days  and  results  were  obtained  45  days  after  later  experiment.   0  hr  group  showed  significantly 
inhibitory (P<0.05) responses in body weight and plasma testosterone level, while 8 hr group showed significantly stimulatory
(P<0.05)  effect  in  comparison  to  control.  Cholesterol  and  ascorbic  acid  contents  in  testes  and  adrenal  gland  were  found 
significantly high (P<0.05) in 0 hr group and significantly low (P<0.05) in 8 hr group in comparison to control.  Regressive 
stages of adrenal gland by administration of neurotransmitter precursor drugs at 0 hr interval and prog ressive stages at 8 hr 
interval indicate possibility of changes in temporal synergism between adreno - gonadal axis of hypothalamus</Abstract><Email>drtajnqureshi2009@rediffmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>7</volume><issue>3</issue><year>2016</year><keyword>5-HTP,L-DOPA,Adrenal gland,Domestic pigeon</keyword><AUTHORS>Taj N.
