We have measured changes in circulating immunoreactive (ir-) inhibin in male and female rats using an RIA with an antiserum raised against porcine inhibin alpha (1-26)-Gly-Tyr. The same synthetic peptide was used for standards and for the preparation of tracer. Serum ir-inhibin levels were significantly higher in intact female than in intact male rats (p less than 0.001). Immunoreactive inhibin was significantly reduced in both sexes 24 h after bilateral gonadectomy (p less than 0.0001). Unilateral ovariectomy (ULO) of female rats on metestrus caused a transient decrease in serum inhibin 8 h after surgery, but levels were not significantly different from those of sham-operated controls at later times after surgery. Increases in serum FSH and LH were observed for 8-18 h after ULO. Serum ir-inhibin levels were also measured on the early morning of estrus during the secondary FSH surge. At this time, ir-inhibin levels were low, while FSH levels were high and LH levels were low. These results show that serum ir-inhibin levels in rats are decreased at times when serum FSH levels are high.
