Differential pituitary response to GnRH in pregnant Booroola-Assaf and Assaf ewes.

Reproduction, fertility, and development - 1 Jan 1992

Gootwine E, Bor A, Shalhevet D, Zenou A, Braw-Tal R

Abstract excerpt

Pituitary response to exogenous gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) was examined at a late stage of pregnancy in 10 Booroola-Assaf ewes heterozygous at the FecB locus (FecBFec+) and in 11 Assaf ewes that were non-carriers (Fec+Fec+). Basal plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) concentrations were similar in the two genotypes. Administration of 100 micrograms of GnRH resulted in...
