A study was undertaken to observe hormonal and clinical responses of 24 cows assigned to 1 of 4 dosage groups with ovarian cysts to a single IM injection of 0 50 100 or 250 mcg of synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). 16 normally cycling lactating cows were used as the control group. Of the 18 cows receiving GnRH 13 (72%) responded to treatment and returned to estrus 9-26 days following treatment compared with 1-6 receiving 0 mcg GnRH. Increasing firmness of the cystic structures subsequently feeling like corpora lutea was noticed in most cases. A significant increase of plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) was noticed on Day 0 in cows following injection of GnRH. Difference in plasma LH on Day 0 between responders and nonresponders to treatment were insignificant. Plasma progesterone and estradiol concentrations on Day 0 were higher (p less than .01) for responding cows than for nonresponders. Lower LH concentrations were found among responders than among nonresponders on Posttreatment Days 1-13; progeste rone and estradiol concentrations were higher (p less than .05). Mean plasma LH and progesterone concentrations among responders on these days were the same as postestrous concentrations or as mean LH and progesterone concentrations in controls during the postestrous period. Mean plasma estradiol concentrations of cows with ovarian cysts were higher (p less than .005) on the injection day (Day 0) and on Days 1-13 posttreatment than during the subsequent estrous cycle or in postestrous controls. Results of this study indicate that cows with ovarian cysts are capable of releasing LH in response to GnRH.
