Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) molecular forms were studied in extracts of ostrich hypothalamus and extrahypothalamic brain using high performance liquid chromatography, radioimmunoassay with region-specific antisera and assessment of luteinizing hormone (LH)-releasing activity using chicken dispersed pituitary cells. Two molecular forms of GnRH with chromatographic, immunological and biological properties identical to those of Gln8-GnRH and His5,Trp7,Tyr8-GnRH were demonstrated in both the hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic brain extracts. A greater proportion of His5,Trp7,Tyr8-GnRH was present in the hypothalamus than in extrahypothalamic brain. It is likely that these two forms of GnRH are present in all bird species, since the chicken and the ostrich have evolved separately.
