Comparison of induced corpora lutea from prepuberal gilts and spontaneous corpora lutea from mature gilts: hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity.
The activity of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases was histochemically quantified in corpora lutea (CL) from prepuberal gilts induced to ovulate and mature gilts. Prepuberal (P) gilts, 120 to 130 d of age were induced to ovulate with 1,500 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) followed 72 h later by 500 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Three P gilts and three mature (M) gilts each were ov...
متن کاملComparison of induced corpora lutea from prepuberal gilts and spontaneous corpora lutea from mature gilts: in vitro progesterone production.
Prepuberal (P) gilts were induced to ovulate with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin followed 72 h later by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Three P gilts and three mature (M) gilts each were ovariectomized on d 10, 14, 18, 22 and 26 (d 0 = day of hCG for P gilts and onset of estrus for M gilts). Gilts ovariectomized on d 14, 18, 22 and 26 were hysterectomized on d 6 to ensure maintenance of t...
متن کاملEffect of ACTH-challenge on progesterone and cortisol levels in ovariectomised repeat breeder heifers.
In order to investigate the potential influence of stress as a component of the repeat breeding syndrome, the adrenocortical capacity for steroid production was evaluated in ovariectomised dairy heifers. In repeat breeder heifers (RBH), marginally elevated plasma progesterone levels during oestrus, so-called suprabasal progesterone levels, have earlier been measured and are believed to impair f...
متن کاملPhysiologically Persistent Corpora lutea in Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) – Longitudinal Ultrasound and Endocrine Examinations Intra-Vitam
Felids generally follow a poly-estrous reproductive strategy. Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) display a different pattern of reproductive cyclicity where physiologically persistent corpora lutea (CLs) induce a mono-estrous condition which results in highly seasonal reproduction. The present study was based around a sono-morphological and endocrine study of captive Eurasian lynx, and a control-study o...
متن کاملEndocrine profiles associated with life span of induced corpora lutea in postpartum beef cows.
Two experiments were designed to examine whether hormonal profiles were related to luteal life span in pluriparous postpartum anestrous beef cows. Cows (Exp. 1, n = 34; Exp. 2, n = 23) received norgestomet (N) for 9 d or served as controls (C). Each cow received 1,000 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 48 h after removal of N (d 0). Blood samples collected every 15 min for 8 h on d -5, 3 and...
