Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) was injected on d 5, 8 or 11 postestrus in ewes to determine how stage of the estrous cycle would affect PGF2 alpha-induced changes in concentrations of ovarian and pituitary hormones and intervals to the onset of estrus and the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone (LH). Initial concentrations of progesterone and average values during the 12 h after PGF2 alpha were related positively to the day of cycle on which PGF2 alpha was administered. Patterns of decline in progesterone after injection of PGF2 alpha were similar among the 3 d. Concentrations of LH in plasma increased in a similar manner from 0 to 12 h in all ewes. After 12 h LH continued to increase, plateaued or declined in ewes treated on d 5, 8 or 11, respectively. Initial concentrations of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in plasma were related positively to day of treatment. After treatment with PGF2 alpha, FSH increased within 2 h on d 5 but declined by that time on d 8 or 11. Concentrations of estradiol following treatment did not vary with day. The onset of estrus and the preovulatory surge of LH occurred at 36 and 35, 40 and 45, and 48 and greater than 48 h in ewes treated on d 5, 8 or 11, respectively. It is concluded that: 1) the initial increase in LH is dependent on a decrease in plasma progesterone and 2) differences in patterns of secretion of gonadotropins before the preovulatory surge of LH might be caused by differences in progesterone or progesterone:-estradiol ratio when luteal regression is induced on different days of the estrous cycle.
