Resumen
Neutering surgery is a common procedure in
veterinary practice, since it controls the animal
population and prevents reproduction by the
elimination of germ cells and gonadal sex
hormones. Testosterone, and androgens in
general, have several effects on the organism, as
well as on the sexual and not sexual organs. The
beneficial effects of orchiectomy in the genital
tract are therapeutic and preventive of androgen
dependent diseases. There are also adverse
effects such as increase of food intake and obesity,
which leads to alterations in fat metabolism that
generate dyslipidemias and insulin resistance,
due to the absence of androgens.
