I. Introduction Essentially, two modalities of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion have been identified in the rat. The basal mode is characterized by episodic bursts of pituitary LH discharge whose frequency and amplitude may vary considerably during the day in male (1, 2) and according to different phases of the estrous cycle in female rats (4). This low level of pulsatile LH secretion is established early in the juvenile period (5). With advancing age, subtle and progressive disintegration of…

Mediation of the Preovulatory LH Surge: LHRH Pulsatility and Opioid Modulation
The development of specific radioimmunoassays for luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) allowed elucidation of the mechanisms of pituitary gonadotropin secretion and…
The development of afternoon minisurges of luteinizing hormone secretion in prepubertal female rats is ovary dependent.
TLDR
Sustained episodes of LH release (minisurges) during the afternoons of the juvenile-peripubertal transition period in the female rat are disclosed, suggesting that these sustained secretory episodes do not occur in the absence of the ovaries.
The Preovulatory Surge of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone
TLDR
The regulation of gonadotropin releasing hormone secretion during the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone has been a focus of neuroendocrinological investigation for decades, but there has been general agreement and ample direct evidence for heightened secretion of GnRH in the laboratory rat.
Opioid control of luteinizing hormone secretion in humans.
Serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of luteinizing hormone release.
TLDR
The involvement of serotonin (5-HT) in the regulation of LH secretion is discussed on the basis of experimental and physiological models and it is found that in ovariectomized rats, 5-HT expresses a negative influence on the increased rate of LH release, which is converted into a stimulatory effect by pretreatment of the animals with E2.
Dose and time relationships of intravenously injected rat recombinant luteinizing hormone and testicular testosterone secretion in the male Rat.
TLDR
The novel preparation of rat recLH provides a physiologically relevant tool for studying the complex relationship between pulsatile LH release and T secretion in male rats.
Modulating Mechanisms of Neuroendocrine Cell Activity: The LHRH Pulse Generator
TLDR
Several lines of evidence are compiled supporting the notion that the pulse generating mechanism resides within the LHRH neuronal network, and put this characteristic of L HRH neurons in perspective with gonadal influences both internal and external to the L hrh neuronal network.
Suppression of the luteinizing hormone surge by chlordimeform in ovariectomized, steroid-primed female rats.
TLDR
The present study focused on the effect of acute CDF administration on the appearance of the induced LH surge, and found that an indirect adrenal effect was not the principal route, but may accompany an action of CDF on the hypothalamic mechanisms regulating the surge and becomes evident after more prolonged exposure.
Diurnal patterns of pulsatile luteinizing hormone secretion in hypothalamic amenorrhea: reproducibility and responses to opiate blockade and an alpha 2-adrenergic agonist.
TLDR
Data indicate that slow frequency GnRH secretion is a common finding during the day in women with HA and more variable at night, suggesting that the mechanisms involved in reducing pulsatile Gn RH secretion are less effective during sleep.
