Serial blood sampling before and after exposing four anovular Corriedale ewes to a group of rams and estrous ewes during the non-breeding season revealed a pattern of LH secretion similar to that previously observed in Merinos. Mean LH values doubled (P<0.001) from 0.24+/-0.06 microgL(-1) (mean+/-s.e.m.) before to 0.55+/-0.05 microgL(-1) after 2h of visual, auditory, and odor exposure to rams and estrous ewes in an indoor facility. A non-significant (P<0.17) increase of LH pulses per hour was also observed (0.7+/-0.3 pulses per hour before compared with 1.3+/-0.3 during stimulation). All four ewes had recently formed corpora lutea by five days after stimulation. Results are consistent with the pattern of sudden increase and sustained release of LH observed in other sheep breeds, particularly the Merino.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D018709 Statistics, Nonparametric A class of statistical methods applicable to a large set of probability distributions used to test for correlation, location, independence, etc. In most nonparametric statistical tests, the original scores or observations are replaced by another variable containing less information. An important class of nonparametric tests employs the ordinal properties of the data. Another class of tests uses information about whether an observation is above or below some fixed value such as the median, and a third class is based on the frequency of the occurrence of runs in the data.

D030762 Estrous Cycle The period of cyclic physiological and behavior changes in non-primate female mammals that exhibit ESTRUS. The estrous cycle generally consists of 4 or 5 distinct periods corresponding to the endocrine status (PROESTRUS; ESTRUS; METESTRUS; DIESTRUS; and ANESTRUS).
