Abstract
Summary
The rate of glycolysis, as indicated by in vitro lactic acid production, in ovaries from immature rats was stimulated by raising serum concentrations of endogenous LH and FSH by intravenous injections of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone. The rate was shown to be a function of the serum concentration of gonadotropin but the response required the presence of elevated hormone levels for about 1 hr. These data are offered as further evidence for the lack of physiological importance of brief changes in pituitary function.
