Effects of multiple injections of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone on the induction of pregnancy in androgenized female rats.
A study of the effect of cyclic (every 4 days) administration of gonadotropin releasing hormone on reproductive performance of the androgenized female rat was carried out. The responses measured were indirect indices of increased gonadotropin output; ovulation rate, uterine decidualization, mating and implantation.
