Comparison between bioactive and immunoactive luteinizing hormone (lh) in ovariectomized streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: Response to lh-releasing hormone
The effect of streptozotocin-induced diabetes on circulating levels of immunoactive LH (I-LH) and bioactive LH (B-LH) was investigated. LH was measured in adult ovariectomized (OVX) rats before and after acute LHRH administration, with or without estradiol benzoate (Eb) treatment (10 μg, 48 and 24...
