Leptin is believed to link metabolic status to reproductive processes. The aim of the present
study was to investigate the effect of exogenous leptin on the secretory activity of GnRH/LH
system in acutely undernourished prepubertal, female lambs. Merino lambs were randomly
divided into four groups, two standard-fed and two fasted for 72h. One standard and one
fasted groups were infused intracerebroventricularly (icv) with the vehicle; the remaining
standard and fasted groups were infused with leptin (25μg/120μl/h). Leptin was …
