Effects of 17.ALPHA.-hydroxyprogesterone on luteinizing hormone release in the rat.

Endocrinologia Japonica, 1979
Our previous study, in which we measured serum17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) every 8hr during the periovulatory phase in women, suggested that17-OHP may have a physiological role in inducing and/or facilitating LH release. Therefore, this study was designed to elucidate the possible role of 17-0HP in LH release.Experiment 1: Three weeks after ...
