After the i.m. injection of 10 micrograms synthetic LH releasing hormone (LH-RH) into Japanese quail the levels of LH and FSH in plasma rose significantly within 2 min. The increased level of LH declined rapidly but that of FSH was maintained for the duration of the experiment. To determine whether the anterior pituitary gland is primed by LH-RH a double injection schedule was adopted. It would appear that, while endogenous LH-RH may prime the avian pituitary gland slightly, synthetic LH-RH is ineffective.
给日本鹌鹑肌肉注射10微克合成促黄体生成素释放激素（LH-RH）后，血浆中LH和FSH水平在2分钟内显著升高。LH升高的水平迅速下降，但FSH的水平在实验期间一直保持。为了确定促性腺激素释放激素是否能使垂体前叶致敏，采用了双重注射方案。看起来，虽然内源性促性腺激素释放激素可能会使鸟类垂体前叶稍有致敏，但合成促性腺激素释放激素却没有效果。
