Effects of zeranol on the maturation of the adenohypophyseal-gonadal axis were studied in beef bulls. Calves were implanted with 36 mg of zeranol at 3-month intervals from birth through 6 months of age (group 2, n = 10) or were not treated (control group 1, n = 10). After 9 months, group-2 calves were given implants of 36 mg of zeranol at 3-month intervals through 18 months of age (group 2B, n = 5) or were not reimplanted (group 2A, n = 5). Areas under the curves outlined by concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone for 6 hours after the administration of 100 micrograms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) were calculated. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone was administered at 3-month intervals from 1.5 through 19.5 months of age. Areas under the curves for concentrations of testosterone for 4 hours after the administration of 10,000 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) at 4.5, 7.5, and 10.5 months or 1,000 IU at 13.5 and 16.5 months of age also were calculated. The amount of FSH released was greater (P less than 0.05) for group-2 than for group-1 calves at 4.5 and 7.5 months of age. The amount of FSH released in groups 2A and 2B tended (P less than 0.10) to be greater than that for group 1. Significant differences between groups 2A and 2B were not observed. The amount of LH released at 7.5 months of age was less for groups 1 and 2 than that at earlier ages, and the decrease was greater (P less than 0.05) for group 2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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.

D010906 Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones Peptides, natural or synthetic, that stimulate the release of PITUITARY HORMONES. They were first isolated from the extracts of the HYPOTHALAMUS; MEDIAN EMINENCE; PITUITARY STALK; and NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. In addition, some hypophysiotropic hormones control pituitary cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and hormone synthesis. Some can act on more than one pituitary hormone.

D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH 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.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).

D006065 Gonadotropins, Pituitary Hormones secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR) that stimulate gonadal functions in both males and females. They include FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE that stimulates germ cell maturation (OOGENESIS; SPERMATOGENESIS), and LUTEINIZING HORMONE that stimulates the production of sex steroids (ESTROGENS; PROGESTERONE; ANDROGENS). Pituitary Gonadotropins
