LH and FSH release of immature male rats was remarkably enhanced by LH-RH if primed with LH-RH one hour before. The effect of exogenous steroids on the action of the second LH-RH was investigated. C-18, C-19 and C-21 steroids in different doses were tested. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein immediately before and 30 min after the second LH-RH injection. Serum LH and FSH were determined by respective radioimmunoassays.<BR>The concomitant increase of LH and FSH was not induced by all the steroids administered iv. Estrone or 17α-hydroxyprogesterone suppressed LH and FSH release. Estradiol-17β preferentially suppressed LH release. Cortisone, progesterone or dehydroepiandrosterone significantly facilitated FSH release, while 20α-dihydroprogesterone or 20β-dihydroprogesterone selectively promoted LH release. The sc injection of most steroids dissolved in oil tended to augment the acute release of LH but not FSH. 20α-Dihydroprogesterone was particularly potent in this concern. Dehydroepiandrosterone or androstenedione was effective in maintaining FSH release for a longer period.<BR>These data revealed that potentiated LH and FSH release induced by the second LH-RH was readily modified by steroids administered simultaneously.
