Luteinizing hormone (LH) was quantified in pony mares during artificially induced sexual maturation. Ovarian follicular development was also assessed by rectal palpation of the ovaries. With the exception of large periovulatory LH concentrations in two mares that ovulated, LH concentrations were not significantly different in mares undergoing sexual maturation and thus having marked follicular development when compared with mares that were not undergoing sexual maturation and thus did not have marked follicular development. These results indicate a dissociation in time between the onset of follicular development and the increase in LH which is associated with the first ovulation of the year.
在人工诱导性成熟过程中，对母马的促黄体生成素（LH）进行了定量分析。还通过直肠触诊卵巢来评估卵泡发育情况。除了两匹排卵母马出现大的排卵前LH浓度外，与未经历性成熟且卵泡未显著发育的母马相比，经历性成熟且卵泡显著发育的母马的LH浓度并无显著差异。这些结果表明，卵泡发育开始与LH升高之间在时间上存在脱节，LH升高与一年中的首次排卵相关。
