Changes in FSH and the pulsatile secretion of LH during treatment of ewes with bovine follicular fluid throughout the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle

 J. M. Wallace and A. S. McNeilly

Treatment of Damline ewes with twice-daily i.v. injections of bovine follicular fluid during the luteal phase for 10 or 2 days before prostaglandin-induced luteolysis resulted in a delay in the onset of oestrous behaviour and a marginal increase in ovulation rate. During the treatment cycle, blood samples were withdrawn at 15-min intervals for 25 h from 08.00 h on days 1, 6 and 10 (day 0 = oestrus). At all three stages of the luteal phase, plasma FSH concentrations were suppressed relative to controls 3 h after the 09.00 h injection of follicular fluid and remained low until

06.00 h on the following day. In the 10-day treatment group LH pulse amplitude was significantly greater than that of controls on days 6 and 10. Pulse frequency remained high throughout treatment and was significantly higher relative to controls on day 10 despite normal progesterone levels. The results suggest that the higher pulsatile LH secretion during the luteal phase is due to reduced negative feedback effects of oestradiol occurring as a result of the follicular fluid-induced reduction in FSH.
