The role of calcium in gonadotropin releasing hormone-induced luteinizing hormone secretion from the bovine pituitary /

The hypothesis was tested that GnRH acts to release LH by increasing calcium uptake by the gonadotroph which in turn stimulates calcium-calmodulin activity and results in LH release from bovine pituitary cells as it does in the rat. Pituitary glands of calves (4-10 months of age) were enzymatically...
