The effects of superovulatory treatment (FSH-P vs human menopausal gonadotropin, HMG) and of route of administration (i.m. vs. i.v.) of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) on hormonal profiles were determined in 32 Angus x Hereford heifers. Heifers were superstimulated with either FSH-P (total of 26 mg) or HMG (total of 1,050 IU) beginning on d 9 to 12 of an estrous cycle and PGF2 alpha (40 mg) was administered at 60 and 72 h after the beginning of superovulatory treatments. Heifers were artificially inseminated three times at 12-h intervals beginning 48 h after PGF2 alpha treatment. Blood serum samples were collected immediately before treatments began, at 12-h intervals during the first 60 h, each 4 h during the next 96 h, and each 12 h until day of embryo collection. Concentrations of LH and FSH were not affected by hormone treatments, route of PGF2 alpha injection, or interactions between them. Estradiol-17 beta (E2-17 beta) levels were higher (P less than .05) in HMG- than in FSH-P-treated heifers 60 h after gonadotropin treatment. Peak concentration of E2-17 beta occurred earlier (P less than .05) in HMG- than in FSH-P-treated heifers and earlier in heifers injected with PGF2 alpha i.m. than in those injected i.v. Progesterone concentrations were not influenced by treatment or route of PGF2 alpha administration, but were affected (P less than .01) by the interactions between treatment and route of PGF2 alpha administration. Progesterone declined to basal levels earlier in the FSH-P- than in the HMG-treated heifers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
