title: [Circadian plasma LH changes in young bulls].
abstract: Six young postpubertal bulls (1 year of age) were blood sampled on one to three occassions each, at hourly intervals for 25 hours. One of them was sampled on a separate occasion every 10 minutes for 2 hours. They were managed in similar conditions since they were 8 days old. LH was measured by radioimmunoassay. There was not a circadian periodicity of LH levels. Peak frequencies or magnitudes varied widely not only between bulls but also between days.
