Serum samples from rabbits, sheep and rats containing immunoreactive luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH) have been extracted and fractionated by ion exchange chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose followed by radioimmunoassay of the fractions. Control experiments showed that the extraction and chromatographic procedures did not alter the mobility of synthetic LH-RH. Four immunoreactive components of circulating LH-RH in blood samples from various species at various times were identified on CM-cellulose columns. One of these had a mobility identical with that of synthetic LH-RH; of the others, two were eluted before and one after synthetic LH-RH. The nature, site of formation and possible significance of the extra components are discussed.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
