Figure Lengend Snippet: LH responses (mean ± SEM) in chronically catheterized GD85 lamb fetuses given IV bolus injections of (A) saline (S, 500 µL); (B) mouse kisspeptin-10 (K, 10 µg); Senktide (Sk, 50 µg), and GnRH (G; 50 µg) at time 0. Fetuses were fitted with indwelling jugular vein and carotid artery catheters on GD82 for drug infusion and blood collection, respectively. Chronic experiments were performed on unanesthetized fetuses between GD85 and GD89. Data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA (sex × time) for repeated measures followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison tests. When there was a significant interaction between sex and time, the time effect was evaluated individually for each sex using a 1-way ANOVA for repeated measures. *P < .05 vs time = –30 minutes. †P < .05 male vs female.
