Changes in LH pulsatility during the menstrual cycle of healthy women receiving twice-daily injections of saline or kisspeptin-54. All women underwent frequent blood sampling for 8 hours on menstrual days 6, 11, and 14 of the study protocol. Twice-daily sc bolus injections of saline or kisspeptin-54 (KP54) (6.4 nmol/kg) were self-administered between menstrual days 7 and 14. A and B, Mean values for secretory mass (A) and estimated pulses per 24 hours (B). C–E, Levels of pulsatile (C), basal (D), and total (E) LH secretion during each 8-h sampling study. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *, P < .05; **, P < .01.
