Male and female rats, castrated as adults, were bled repeatedly by cardiac puncture or exsanguinated via the abdominal aorta. Within 8 hr (but not at 1, 2, 3 or 5 hr) after orchidectomy, serum LH concentrations, as measured by radioimmunoassay, were significantly (p <.01) and consistently increased, and within 24 hr the serum LH concentrations were as much as 50 times greater than those observed in intact male controls. Although the average serum LH concentration increased about 2-fold between the 2nd and 61st days following orchi-dectomy, subsequent increments never approached the rate of increase observed during the first day. By contrast, ovariectomy resulted in a gradual increase in serum LH concentrations; levels comparable to those seen 24 hr after orchidectomy were not observed until nearly a week after ovariectomy. When compared with female rats, male rats responded to castration with a more rapid increase in serum LH and with higher mean serum LH concentrations. Although the average serum LH conc...
