title: [Effect of administering prostaglandine f2alpha and e2 on lh secretion in rat (author's transl)].
abstract: Intraperitoneal administration of 100 ng of synthetic LH-RH to castrated male rats, produces a significant elevation of plasma LH values, as determined by RIA. A greater increase is obtained, by administrating 400 ng of LH-RH. Intrayugular injection of physiologic saline reduces basal values of plasma LH. This pattern is not modified by administration of 10 microgram or 100 microgram of PGF2alpha. On the other hand 10 microgram of PGE2 compensates the fall and 100 microgram significantly increases plasma LH over the basal values. Intracarotidly a similar pattern is observed. Plasma LH values decreases in the control group and no modification is observed by the administration of 10 microgram of PGF2alpha. By injecting the same amount of PGE2, plasma LH values remains constant, compensating the fall observed in the controls. Our results show a stimulatory effect of PGE2 and no effect of PGF2alpha on LH secretion in the castrated male rat.
