Effects of LH-RH and des-Gly10[d-Ala6]LH-RH-ethylamide on plasma gonadotropin levels and oocyte maturation in adult female coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Abstract
Plasma gonadotropin (GtH) levels and state of oocyte development were determined in adult female coho salmon following single intraperitoneal injections of LH-RH or its superactive analog des-Gly10[D-Ala6]LH-RH-ethylamide (LH-RHA DAla6). The peptides injected at dosages of 1.0 or 0.2 mg LH-RH and 0.2 or 0.02 mg LH-RHA DAla6/kg bw elevated plasma GtH by 1.5 hr postinjection. The response to the analog was of longer duration. Plasma GtH levels …
