Gn-RH (3 mug/hr for 8 hr) evoked a surge of LH in ewes during the anoestrous season which was of similar peak height to that found at oestrus but of shorter duration. When Gn-RH was given on 3 consecutive days, the response was considerably reduced on the 2nd and 3rd day. Follicles grew as a result of Gn-RH infusion but peripheral plasma oestrogen concentration did not increase. During the anoestrous season 9/18 ewes ovulated but only 1/6 did so at mid-anoestrus. Mature follicles or a CL were found in 15/18 ewes that had increased peripheral plasma progesterone concentrations for 1-5 days (11 ewes) or 9-14 days (4 ewes). The concentrations of progesterone found were always lower than those observed during the normal cycle. In the breeding season 10/11 ewes ovulated but there was no evidence that the induced CL were maintained.
促性腺激素释放激素(8小时内每小时3微克)在母羊处于乏情季节时引发了促黄体生成素的激增,其峰值高度与发情期时相似,但持续时间较短。当连续3天给予促性腺激素释放激素时,第2天和第3天的反应明显减弱。由于输注促性腺激素释放激素,卵泡生长,但外周血浆雌激素浓度并未增加。在乏情季节,18只母羊中有9只排卵,但在乏情中期只有1/6的母羊排卵。在18只外周血浆孕酮浓度升高1 - 5天(11只母羊)或9 - 14天(4只母羊)的母羊中,发现有15只存在成熟卵泡或黄体。所发现的孕酮浓度始终低于正常周期中的浓度。在繁殖季节,11只母羊中有10只排卵,但没有证据表明诱导形成的黄体能够维持。
