Abstract
The administration of steroid-free charcoal-treated porcine follicular fluid to long term castrated female rhesus monkeys lowered basal serum concentrations of FSH and had almost no effect on serum LH. Treatment with porcine follicular fluid before the administration of exogenous LRH inhibited the release of FSH, but also affected the release of LH. This inhibition was especially striking on the suppression of the peak of release of both FSH or LH at 20 min. These findings suggest that an inhibin-like material present in follicular fluid could play an important role in the secretion of FSH and LH in rhesus monkeys.
