Abstract: | The effect of an analog of LH-RH, (Des-Gly-NH210, Proethylamide9)-LH-RH, on LH release, was studied in one bull with azooapermia, and one cow with cystic follicle. The single intravenous injection of 100 μg LH-RH analog caused abrupt and marked increase in serum LH and the high levels of LH were maintained for 3 hours. The highest levels of serum LH were 48 and 114 times as high as the pre-treatment levels in a bull and a cow, respectively. Further studies are being undertaken to evaluate this compound for improving reproductive function in cattle. |
