Abstract
Immunocytologic techniques showed appreciable and progressively increasing amounts of LRH [luteinizing hormone releasing hormone] and of SRIF [somatostatin] in the median eminence of the dormouse during hibernation at 6.degree. C. In animals conditioned to darkness at 22.degree. C with the ovarian involution there exists a nearly total disappearance of LRH while the amount of SRIF remains high. Permanent lighting at 22.degree. C responsible for reactivation of the genital system provokes massive accumulation of LHR in the median eminence; SRIF is present in large amounts during the 1st wk but diminishes if the experience is prolonged.
