Epigenetic Therapy: Novel Translational Implications for Arrest of Environmental Dioxin-Induced Disease in Females.

abstract：:The temporal aspects of gonadotropin release were studied in infantile (14-day-old) female rats. Blood samples were collected using vena cava cannulae at 10-, 15-, 20-, or 30-min intervals and assayed for either LH alone or for both LH and FSH. Within individual animals, blood LH levels exhibited a degree of variabili...
