* Plasma levels of oestradiol 17β very considerably from one month to another but there does not seem to be any association between the level of this hormone and breeding activity. * Concentrations of LH are higher during the breeding season than during the non-breeding season.
* Plasma levels of oestradiol 17β very considerably from one month to another but there does not seem to be any association between the level of this hormone and breeding activity.
** During the breeding season the pituitary gland is more sensitive to and releases more LH in response to Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) release from the hypothalamus.
* Concentrations of LH are higher during the breeding season than during the non-breeding season.
** During the breeding season the [[Endocrine_System_-_Pituitary_Gland_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|pituitary gland]] is more sensitive to and releases more LH in response to Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) release from the hypothalamus.
