This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a newly developed NK3 receptor agonist (B21-750) on the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) in association with ovarian steroid hormones during the follicular phase (FP, n = 5) and luteal phase (LP, n = 5) of Shiba goats. The FP group was treated with both prostaglandin Fsub(2α) and progesterone-controlled internal drug release (CIDR) inserts for 10 d, and B21-750 (200 nmol) was injected 12 h after removing the CIDR. Meanwhile, the LP group received B21-750 injections on a day during the mid-luteal phase. LH secretion increased at 1 h after B21-750 injection in both groups. The percent changes in the area under the curve of LH was higher during the hour after injection than during the hour before injection in both groups. Thus, this study demonstrated that B21-750 induces rapid LH secretion for a short period during both the follicular and luteal phases.
