GnRH-induced LH-release was studied in female lambs from 5 weeks of age until puberty and in adult anoestrous ewes. In pre-pubertal animals LH was released rapidly after GnRH treatment but after puberty the responses became slower and more sustained although the peak concentration did not change. In neither pre-pubertal nor adult sheep did prior treatment with melatonin influence LH release after GnRH treatment.
对5周龄至青春期的雌性羔羊以及成年处于乏情期的母羊进行了促性腺激素释放激素（GnRH）诱导促黄体生成素（LH）释放的研究。在青春期前的动物中，GnRH处理后LH迅速释放，但青春期后反应变得更慢且更持久，尽管峰值浓度没有变化。无论是青春期前的绵羊还是成年绵羊，褪黑素预处理均不影响GnRH处理后的LH释放。
