Concentrations of LH and FSH were measured in blood samples collected from the jugular vein at 20-min intervals for 7 h (09:00-16:00 h) on Days 60, 80, 100 and 120 of pregnancy in 5 intact ewes and 5 from which the CL had been excised on Day 70. In the 5 intact ewes, plasma LH concentrations remained low and unchanged between Days 60 and 120. During this period, pulsatile release of LH occurred irregularly and infrequently. Removal of the CL resulted in an increase in the basal values of LH and in the frequency and amplitude of LH pulses. Concentrations of FSH were relatively constant in all stages of pregnancy examined and were similar in both groups of ewes. These results show that (1) LH concentrations are low during the second half of pregnancy; and (2) LH, but not FSH, increases after CL excision, presumably by removing some luteal factor inhibitor of LH secretion.
