THE SERUM LEVEL OF IMMUNOREACTIVE LH IN INTACT AND SPAYED ANDROGEN-STERILIZED RATS

Summary.: The serum levels of LH were measured by radioimmunoassay in androgen-sterilized and normal cyclic rats, both in the presence and absence of ovaries. The serum of persistent-oestrous rats contained significantly more LH than that of normal rats on the day of oestrus, the raised level being comparable to that found in the adult male rat. The pituitary gland of the persistent-oestrus rat resembled that of the normal rat in its response to ovariectomy by increased secretion of LH.
