Effects of luwinizing hormone releasing hormone ( LHRH), estradiot benzoate (EB), prostaglandin (PGF2α) and the age of animals on the development of ovarian follicles in immature and mature guinea pigs were studied. Administration of 5ng LHRH / hr, 10 times a day, starting from 20-30 days Of age induced the flrst vaginal opening within 4 days, and 5 of the 10 animals had first ovulation. Tire results also show that appropriate doses of EB facilitated the development of ovary. The granulosa cells of guinea pigs at different ages were cocuttured with the pituitart, glands of mature ones in vitro. Results indicate that the responsiveness of granulosa cells of 20-day-guinea prgs to gonadotropins was similar to that of the matured ones. Effects of gonadotrophin on ovulation in hysterectomized and PGF2α or saline-treated animals were tested. Results demonstrate that when PGF2α was given simultaneously with hCG or FSH, 80% of the guinea pigs ovulawd and had fresh, healthy looking corpus tuteum. It is concluded that increased LHRH release from hypothatamus may be the key factor for tire onset of puberty in guinea prgs. EB and PGF2α can influence the development of the ovary.
