The production of a GnRH/LH surge in response to high levels of estradiol is sexually differentiated in most mammals, i.e. in males castrated to remove negative feedback from endogenous testosterone, treatment with a dose of estradiol that is known to elicit a GnRH and LH surge in ovariectomized females does not produce a GnRH or LH surge. Differentiation of the surge response is due to the effects of gonadal steroids acting on the developing brain.

Based on your understanding of prenatal secretion of steroids, speculate what happens in males vs. females that results in the presence or absence of a GnRH/LH surge response. Suggest two prenatal treatments that might be used to test the validity of your explanation – one that disrupts the LH surge in females, and one that yields a functional surge response in males. In other words, what substance could be administered to a pregnant female that might produce female offspring in which high levels of estradiol do not produce a GnRH/LH surge, and what substance could be administered that might produce male offspring in which high levels of estradiol do produce a GnRH/LH surge?

4. Explain the body’s response to this change in osmolarity including which hormone was altered and how this led to an increase urine flow rate?
