The characteristics of the diurnal rhythm in the concentration of LH in plasma of the domestic hen varied according to age and duration of photoperiod. A pronounced increase in LH was observed at the onset of darkness in immature hens whether maintained on schedules of 16 h light: 8 h darkness (16L:8D) or 8L:16D. During weeks 4.5-15 or -17.5 raised concentrations of LH were maintained until 6 and 12 h after the onset of darkness in hens held on 16L:8D and 8L:16D respectively. By 19 weeks of age the diurnal rhythm of LH secretion had changed to resemble more closely that observed in the laying hen. An increase in the concentration of LH in plasma at the onset of darkness was of comparatively short duration and gave way, within 2-3 h, to a steep decline before a further slight increase in LH, which tended to occur at 11-14 h after the onset of darkness. Superimposed on this diurnal rhythm of LH secretion in the laying hen were a one- to threefold increase in the concentration of LH during 8-4 h before ovulation and a much less pronounced increase in LH during 0-8 h after ovulation. The pattern of changes in the concentration of LH in plasma during the ovulatory cycle was not modified by the repeated withdrawal of blood at intervals of 2 h.
