Abstract
Plasma concentrations of LH, FSH, prolactin and progesterone were measured during the oestrous cycle in obese (fa/fa) and non obese (Fa/?) Zucker rats. In obese rats the mid-afternoon surge of LH during prooestrus was reduced compared with that in non-obese rats (PPJournal of Endocrinology (1989) 120, 331–336This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
