Pituitary incubation studies were carried out which showed that in the rat luteinizing hormone releasing factor (LH-RF) can exert a priming effect on FSH secretion in vitro. It was found that, as for LH, the effect depends on protein synthesis. The priming effect of LH-RF with respect to FSH could also be demonstrated in vivo; however, the effect was less dramatic than for LH.
