Influence of LHRH on ovulation in the rats that were microinjected with atropine. Ovulation rates of the rats subjected to microinjections of atropine in the SCN (ATR-SCN) at 09.00 h during proestrus and rats microinjected with atropine followed by injection with 3.7 μg/kg per body weight of synthetic LHRH at 14.00 h on the same day (ATR-SCN + LHRH). The animals were sacrificed 18–20 h after treatment on the predicted oestrus day. *p < 0.025 vs. the atropine group (Fisher’s exact probability test)
