Figure 7.
Changes in LHRH release in the stalk-median eminence during pubertal development in sham/control animals. Representative examples in monkeys during the course of pubertal development (S/C3 at 15.0 months, S/C3 at 19.2 months, S/C1 at 23.6 months, S/C4 at 26.2 months, S/C34 at 34.0 months and S/C1 at 44.1 months) are shown. Note that the scale of the y-axis differs in each case. In sham/control animals a significant increase in LHRH release did not occur until around 25 months of age. Small arrows indicate LHRH peaks identified by PULSAR analysis.
