Conteúdo: | Abstract: The concentration of LH in jugular venous plasma and the ovarian secretion of estradiol was measured every 10 mm for periods of 60 or 120 mm on 28 occasions in 13 ewes with utero-ovarian or ovarian autotransplants. Blood samples were collected at various times during the follicular phase; 2 days prior to esifus (estruS -2), estrus -1 and on the day of estrus and the results compared to those obtained during the luteal phase. During the luteal phase, episodic pulses of LH occurred at intervals of approximately 3 h 20 mm and each pulse was followed by a significant rise in the secretion of estradiol. During the follicular phase, the pulses of LH occurred with increased frequency (1/h) but with decreased amplitude. Although each pulse of LH was smaller, the peak of secretion of estradiol following each pulse was significantly greater during the follicular than during the luteal phase. By estrus, the secretion of estradiol declined in spite of LH values in the range of the preovulatory LH surge. It is suggested that the increased secretion of estradiol from the preovulatory Graaflan follicle is due to repeated stimulation by episodic pulses of LH which occur with increasing frequency.
