Our working hypothesis was that doses of melengestrol acetate (MGA) greater than those typically administered in estrous synchrony regimens would regulate secretion of LH and 17 beta-estradiol (E2) as endogenous progesterone (P4) does during the midluteal phase of the estrous cycle. We also hypothesized that endogenous P4 from the CL would interact with MGA to further decrease the frequency of LH pulses and E2. Cows on Day 5 of their estrous cycle (Day 0 = estrus) were randomly assigned to an untreated control group (CONT, n = 5) or to one of six MGA treatment groups (n = 5 per group): 1) MGA administered orally each day via a gelatin capsule at a dose of 0.5 mg MGA/cow with the CL present (0.5CIL); 2) 0.5 mg MGA/cow daily in the absence of CL (0.5NO); 3) 1.0 mg MGA with CL present (1.0CL); 4) 1.0 mg MGA without CL (1.0NO); 5) 1.5 mg MGA with CL present (1.5CL); 6) 1.5 mg without CL (1.5NO). MGA was administered for 10 days (Day 5 = initiation of treatment). To regress CL, cows assigned to groups without CL received injections of prostaglandin F 2 alpha (PGF 2 alpha; 25 mg) on Days 6 and 7 of their estrous cycle. All cows were administered PGF2 alpha at the end of the 10-day treatment period. During the treatment period, daily blood samples were collected to determine concentrations of E2. Serial blood samples were collected at 15-min intervals for 24 h on Days 8, 11, and 14 to determine pattern of LH secretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
