Concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) were measured in plasma of fetal and neonatal rats obtained from control mothers and from mothers exposed to stress from Days 14 to 21 of gestation. The regimen of stress used is known to be associated with an abnormal ontogenetic pattern of testosterone secretion from the fetal testes. The overall ontogenetic pattern of immunoreactive LH levels in plasma was similar in male and female rats, and was unaffected by stress. In all groups, LH was low from Days 16 to 20 of gestation, and then rose progressively through birth, i.e. Day 23. However, stressing the mother significantly decreased the already low levels of LH between Days 16 and 20, as indicated by a larger percentage of samples from stressed fetuses of both sexes with LH levels below the limit of sensitivity of the assay. Sex differences in both the control and stressed group became evident only after Day 20 of gestation, with plasma concentrations of females exceeding those of males from Day 21 to 23 post-conception.
