Abstract
Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone drops in the hypothalamus of mal e but not female rat fetuses in serotonin (5-HT) deficiency. This drop is coincident with an increase of the luteinizing hormone (LH) level in blood plasma of males. An influence of testosterone on LH-RH or LH secretion should be ruled out, because the level of testosterone is no t changed in the testes and blood plasma.
