Table 4.

Concentration of LH in postpartum anestrus ewes in relation to infusion with kisspeptin (120 µg over 6 h) or saline, with data pooled for suckling treatment. Concentration was measured over 6 h, both before and during infusion.

	Before Infusion	After Infusion	Mean
Saline (Control)	0.73 ± 0.11 a,e	0.72 ± 0.10 a,e	0.72 ± 0.07 e
Kisspeptin	0.76 ± 0.05 c,e	1.46 ± 0.21 d,f	1.11 ± 0.14 f
Mean	0.74 ± 0.06 a	1.09 ± 0.15 b

By row (a, b; p ≤ 0.05, or c, d; p ≤ 0.01), or column (e, f; p ≤ 0.05), different letters indicate statistically significant differences.
