Popis: The biological and immunological gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-like activities in rabbit fetal placentas collected at Day 18 of gestation were investigated. Both crude and partially purified acid extracts of placental tissue were tested. A similarly prepared liver extract served as a control. Immunological GnRH-like activity, determined through a GnRH radioimmunoassay was 1.3-2.0 pg/mg protein for the crude placental extract, 7.1-9.2 pg/mg protein for the partially purified placental extract and was nondetectable for liver extract. Both the crude and partially
