Ewes with ovarian autotransplants received either inhibin antiserum (10 ml i.v.; n = 6) or sheep serum (10 ml i.v.; n = 5) on day 10 of the luteal phase with additional daily injections (1 ml i.v.) from 48 h after the initial injection until the end of blood sampling, 9 days later. Luteal regression was induced by injection of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) 4.2 days after the initial plasma injection. Jugular and ovarian venous blood samples were taken every 4 h over the experimental period, and more frequent samples (every 10-15 min for 2-3 h) were taken to examine pulsatile secretory responses from the ovary to GnRH-induced (150 ng i.m. 1 and 4 days after initial treatment) or endogenous LH pulses (24 and 48 h after injection of PGF2 alpha). Plasma FSH concentrations, ovarian steroid secretion and ovarian follicular development were measured. Immunization against inhibin resulted in a two- to threefold increase (P &lt; 0.001) in plasma FSH concentrations, which remained higher than controls until injection of PGF2 alpha. Within 24 h of immunization, there was an increase in the number of small ovarian follicles (P &lt; 0.01) and by 4 days after treatment, immunized ewes had four or five (P &lt; 0.01) large ovarian follicles and, despite little change in the basal steroid secretion, a four- to sixfold increase (P &lt; 0.05) in the amplitude of the steroidogenic response to a GnRH-induced LH pulse.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
