LH response to LH-RH neonatally estrogenized male rats

Abstract:
The LH response to 100 or 1000 ng of LH-RH was studied in adult male rats treated neonatally with 500 micrograms of estradiol benzoate or olive oil. The dose of 100 ng elicited the same LH increase in both groups, but the estrogenized animals responded more when 1000 ng of LH-RH was injected. These data suggest that the decreased LH response to orchidectomy found in estrogenized animals is not due to a failure in pituitary responsiveness to LH-RH.
