[Maturation of gonadotropin and adrenocortical functions during growth of female rat].
Plasma LH, FSH and corticosterone were determined between the 15th and the 45th day of life in the normal female rat. At basal conditions plasma gonadotropins and corticosterone decreased from the 15th to the 25th day of life; then all hormones increased to the 45th day. After neurotropic stress, plasma level of corticosterone increased progressively from the 15th to the 45th day of life. It appears that the development of plasma gonadotropins and corticosterone are carried out in a parallel manner during the period studied.
