In castrated male rats, a single s.c. injection of danazol has been shown to result in an inordinately prolonged inhibition of serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) concentrations, In the present study, we have examined whether the same and similar routes of administration suppresses ovarian function in normally cycling rats and cynomolgus monkeys, Normally cycling female rats received danazol as a single administration either orally, i.m. or s.c. and a separate group also received danazol in silastic capsules, The duration of the dioestrous interval until the next oestrous smear was followed daily and cycle lengths were compared with vehicle-treated groups, Six normally cycling cynomolgus monkeys were followed by daily observation and blood sampling at 2-3 day intervals, After one normal cycle, danazol (200 mg/kg) was administered as a single s.c. injection, Monkeys were followed until the next menses and one cycle thereafter and blood samples were assayed for oestradiol, progesterone and bioactive LH. Oestrous cycle length in vehicle-treated control rats was 4.7 days, A single administration of danazol s.c. at the higher dose prolonged the dioestrous interval to 31.3 days (P
