During treatment with cortisol or ACTH, dairy heifers were given two doses of LH releasing hormone (LH-RH) spaced 1·5 h apart. Serum concentrations of cortisol and LH were monitored during each treatment. Treatment with both ACTH and cortisol raised plasma cortisol levels above the respective saline controls (P<0·001). Neither treatment affected basal LH concentrations. A slight depression in LH response was seen in the cortisol-treated animals after the first LH-RH injection, as shown by a statistically significant depression at three of the sample times. There was no significant difference between treated and control LH values after the second LH-RH administration. Treatment with ACTH resulted in significantly reduced LH values at all sample times after both injections of LH-RH.
