Abstract：
:Further confirmation that the LHRH/LHRH agonist-induced ovulation in the hypophysectomized (hypx) rat is due to a direct ovarian effect and not mediated by LH release from residual pituitary tissue or other CNS sites is provided by the persistence of this effect despite concomitant median eminence lesion or passive immunization to LH. Adrenalectomy did not affect the ovulatory activity of the LHRH agonist, D-Trp6-N alpha MeLeu7-DesGly10-Pro9-NHEt-LHRH (Wy-40,972), in the hypx rat. Prior administration of a potent LHRH antagonist blocked ovulation induced in hypx proestrous rats by Wy-40,972 but not by LH-S19. Ovulation can be induced by Wy-40,972 one day earlier (e.g. metestrus) in the intact rat than it can in the hypx rat. Results in the hypx metestrous rat indicate that the ovulatory responsiveness of the intact rat at this stage of the cycle may occur by complementary action of Wy-40,972-stimulated endogenous LH release and a direct ovarian effect of the agonist. Prostaglandins (PG) are involved in the ovulatory mechanism of Wy-40,972 in the hypx proestrous rat as evidenced by the dose-dependent inhibition of this effect by PG synthetase inhibitors, indomethacin and Fentiazac. Moreover, there were significant increases in ovarian concentrations of PGF2 alpha and PGE2-PGE1 in response to Wy-40,972 that could be prevented by indomethacin. However, exogenous administration of either of these PG's was not effective in inducing ovulation in the hypx rat.
