Plasma concentrations of luteinising hormone during the ovulatory cycle in hens selected for reduced oviposition interval and maintained in continuous light or a 24 h light:dark cycle. 1986

Plasma luteinising hormone (LH) concentrations were measured during the ovulatory cycle in lines of Australorps and White Leghorns selected for reduced oviposition interval and maintained under continuous light and noise. Selection significantly increased plasma LH concentrations in mid-sequence ovulatory cycles of Australorps but not in the White Leg-horns. Selection in the Australorps apparently increased the rate of ovarian follicular maturation, resulting in more frequent LH peaks. The effect of selection on plasma LH concentrations is a function of the lighting condition to which the hens are exposed.

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.
