Abstract
Acute ethanol (EtOH) treatment resulted in a significant decline in hypophyseal portal plasma levels of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) in orchidectomized rats. This was accompanied by a similar decrement in circulating luteinizing hormone (LH) without, however, modifying plasma follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels at time when peak blood alcohol concentrations occurred. Thus, acute alcohol intoxication lowers circulating LH levels primarily by impairing hypothalamic neuronal secretion of LH-RH into the portal blood.Entities:
