title: Molecular forms of immunoreactive gonadotropin-releasing hormone in hypothalamus and testis of the frog, Rana esculenta.
abstract: The hypothalamus and the testis of the frog, Rana esculenta, contain gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH)-like peptides which are recognized by an antiserum raised against mammalian Gn-RH. Two molecular forms which coelute with synthetic chicken II and salmon Gn-RH from reverse-phase HPLC were distinguished in the hypothalamus. A single peak coeluting with synthetic chicken II Gn-RH was present in the testis.
