    The objective of this study was to determine if alterations in dietary intake and(or) ovariectomy influence plasma concentrations of IGF-I, GH and LH in heifers. Cyclic heifers (n = 23) were individually fed for 10 wk either 1) 1.8% of body weight in dry matter per day (GAIN; n = 7) 2) 1.1% of body weight in dry matter per day (MAINT; n = 8); or 3) 0.7% of body weight in dry matter per day (LOSE; n = 8). After 10 wk of dietary treatment, heifers were ovariectomized 36 to 40 h following the second injection of prostaglandin F2alpha analog (2 injections 11 d apart). Heifers weighed 444 +/- 13, 387 +/- 8, and 349 +/- 9 kg in the GAIN, MAINT and LOSE groups, respectively, at the time of ovariectomy; the average daily weight gains during the 10-wk period were 0.96, 0.17 and -0.31 kg, respectively (P < 0.001), for the 3 groups. Blood plasma was collected for 6 h at 15-min intervals 1 d before and 2 wk after ovariectomy. The MAINT group of heifers had greater IGF-I concentrations than either the LOSE or GAIN groups; IGF-I decreased (P < 0.05) by 23 and 35% after ovariectomy in the MAINT and GAIN groups, respectively, but did not change (P > 0.10) in the LOSE groups. Dietary restriction tended to increase (P < 0.10) GH pulse frequency and mean GH. Ovariectomy had no effect (P > 0.10) on mean GH or GH pulse frequency but increased (P < 0.05) GH pulse amplitude in the GAIN groups. Dietary treatment had no effect (P > 0.10) on mean LH, or LH pulse amplitude and frequency. However, across dietary treatments, ovariectomy increased mean LH and LH pulse frequency but did not affect (P > 0.10) LH pulse amplitude. In summary, dietary restriction increased GH secretion while ovariectomy increased LH secretion. There appears to be a dichotomy of response between GH and IGF-I in the way heifers respond to dietary treatment and(or) ovariectomy.
