The changes in serum hormone concentrations accompanying preovulatory follicular development at the end of pregnancy in the rat suggest that follicular maturation is stimulated by subtle increases in serum LH and/or by a decrease in serum progesterone but not by increases in serum FSH. To test the ability of small antral nonovulatory follicles to respond to subtle increases in LH-like activity in the presence of elevated serum progesterone, hCG (0.25 to 3.0 IU), or the control, human FSH (hFSH) (0.88 to 4.4 IU) was administered twice daily to rats on days 14 and 15 of pregnancy. hCG stimulated follicular growth, increased granulosa cell and theca cell LH receptor content, and enhanced follicular estradiol accumulation in a time-related and dose-dependent manner. Follicles from animals treated twice daily for 2 days with 1.5 IU hCG (3.5 pmol) were by day 16 functionally identical to proestrous follicles isolated on day 23, and a bolus injection of 10 IU hCG was able to induce ovulation in these hCG-primed ...
