The involvement of cyclic AMP in the action of LH releasing hormone (LH-RH) on LH secretion was studied by incubating pituitary glands from adult female rats on day 2 of dioestrus with 1 mN-N6-monobutyryl cyclic AMP (mbcAMP) and 10 mM-theophylline for periods of up to 10 h. This treatment induced a pattern of LH release similar to that observed in the presence of a low concentration of LH-RH (0.1 ng LH-RH/ml), i.e. an initial 4 h period during which the release of LH was minimal was followed subsequently by an increased rate of release. In this system inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide (25 microgram/ml) did not impair the initial response of the pituitary tissue but the increase in the rate of LH release during the second phase of the response was blocked. Preincubation with mbcAMP and theophylline increased the responsiveness of the pituitary tissue to LH-RH. This action could be prevented by including cycloheximide during the preincubation period, whereas addition of this drug during the incubation with LH-RH no longer impaired the increased responsiveness. The size of the sensitizing action of mbcAMP and theophylline mediated through the induction of protein synthesis was comparable with that of a high concentration of LH-RH. From the absence of a significant change in total LH during the preincubation period, it was concluded that the increased responsiveness was not the result of newly synthesized LH. The present results suggest a role or roles for cyclic AMP in the secretion of LH induced by LH-RH. Besides an effect on the formation of a factor related to the synthesis of protein, other than LH which has a permissive role in the acute release of LH, cyclic AMP might also be concerned in the secretion process through a pathway which does not involve synthesis of protein.
