| مستخلص: | In an effort to determine whether anestrus in swine is due to aberrant ovarian feedback control of gonadotropin release, this study contrasted the influence of ovariectomy on LH concentrations in serum of anestrous sows and in sows that returned to estrus following weaning. Blood samples were collected at 6-h intervals from 7 d prior to until 4 d after ovariectomy of 22 anestrous and 24 cyclic sows. Blood samples also were collected at 15-min intervals for 8 h at 2 d prior to and 2 d after ovariectomy. Sampling at 6-h intervals continued until 12 d after ovariectomy and additional 8-h windows of 15-min samples were taken at 7 and 12 d after ovariectomy of seven anestrous and nine diestrous sows. Mean LH concentrations and LH pulse frequencies were greater (P< .05) 2 d after ovariectomy than 2 d prior to ovariectomy in both anestrous and diestrous sows. Mean pulse amplitude had increased by 2 d after ovariectomy in anestrous sows but did not change in cyclic sows. Baselines as determined from the mean of all LH measurements excluding pulses, remained the same in both anestrous and diestrous sows at 2 d after ovariectomy. Pulse frequency, pulse amplitude, and mean LH concentration were greater (P< .05) in both anestrous and diestrous sows at 7 and 12 d after ovariectomy than at 2 d prior to and 2 d after ovariectomy. Pulse amplitude on d 7 and 12 after ovariectomy decreased (P< .05) in both anestrous and diestrous sows relative to those observed at earlier times.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
