    Adult C57Bl/6 mice (5 to 6 weeks old).
    Summary · context
    Mice received either a single injection of GnRH agonist (leuprolide acetate) on study day -10 or injections of the GnRH antagonist (antide or cetrorelix) on study days -3 and 0.
    Summary · context
    To examine direct vs. indirect effects, some mice received GnRH antagonist under the bursa of one ovary, with the contralateral ovary receiving vehicle.
