Figure 8

GnRH receptor agonist-stimulated LH secretion in vitro and in vivo. (A,B) Time-courses of GnRH-induced LH release (A) and depletion of intracellular LH content (B). After overnight incubation, cells were stimulated with 10 nM GnRH for 1–5 h. At the end of incubation periods, medium (A) and cell lysates (B) were collected for LH measurements. (C) Concentration-dependent effect of cycloheximide, a eukaryote protein synthesis inhibitor, on 10 nM GnRH-induced LH release following 4 h incubation (normalized values). Asterisks indicate significant differences vs. untreated cells. (D,E) In vivo effects of buserelin acetate on serum (D) and intrapituitary (E) LH. Data shown are mean ± SEM, N = 5 per time point. Panels D and E shows combined data from short-term and long-term treatment with buserelin acetate and control females (compare Figs. 6 and 7).
