ABSTRACT The dependence of progesterone secretion from the corpus luteum on pituitary gonadotrophin was examined in the cyclic stumptailed macaque by studying the effects of a single s.c. injection of a potent LH releasing hormone (LHRH) antagonist, [N–Ac–D–Nal(2)1, D–pCl–phe2, D–Trp3, D–hArg(Et2)6,...
