Abstract

|
The release of ovulatory level of LH from the pituitary gland occurred between 51 and 56 hours after PMS treatment in 24-day old female rats. Estradiol given simultaneously with PMS advanced LH release 24 hours. Injections of estradiol $(2.5\\sim 40\\mu g)$ at 0, 24 and 48 hours failed to increase pituitary LH level by 51 hours after the first injection in ovariectomized rats. However, $5 \\mu g$ estradiol at 0, 24 and 48 hours followed by 1 mg progesterone at 48 hours elevated pituitary L level by 51 hours in ovariectomized rats. These results indicate that advancement of PMS-induced ovulation by estradiol in the previous study occurred by means of inducing premature release of LH and estrogen might synergize with progesterone in the regulation of LH in the pituitary gland.
