Use of Synthetic Human Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone for Induction of Breeding in the Cricket Frog, Acris crepitans
J Herpe Med Surg 10[1]:7-8 Spring'00 In My Experience 5 Refs

In order to study the effects of environmental contaminants on the sexual development of the cricket frog, Acris crepitans, a system of laboratory breeding of this species was devised using induction of mating by subcutaneous injection of synthetic human luteinizing hormone releasing hormone at doses ranging from 169-676 mg/kg body weight. Viable tadpoles were obtained from frogs that had been maintained in captivity for approximately 1.5 years and from recently captured individuals. The techniques and doses described represent a starting point for further studies aimed at optimizing captive breeding technique for this species. [Abstract]
