F H Mohamed,J E Cox,

The administration of 0.5 mg of long-acting adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH, Synacthen-Depot) twice daily for 5.5 d to four rams outside the breeding season caused marked rises in plasma cortisol without any evidence of adrenal depletion. This treatment also caused marked rises in basal plasma follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) concentrations which remained high even after cessation of treatment. Plasma FSH responses to 5 ug of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) were consistently observed and ACTH treatment increased the FSH response to GnRH. In contrast, spontaneous fluctuations in the plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone concentrations were abolished by ACTH treatment. The quantity of testosterone released after GnRH (estimated by the maximum values reached and by the area under the response curve) was also suppressed while that of LH was only slightly lower. A comparison of the results of this experiment with those obtained in rams during the breeding season showed that the effects of ACTH on LH and testosterone were more marked during the breeding season. In contrast, the effect of ACTH on FSH is to increase the latter during the nonbreeding season, whereas no effect was observed during the breeding season.
