Assessment of the mechanism by which prolactin stimulates progesterone production by early corpora lutea of pigs.
Previously, we reported that administration of prolactin (PRL) during the early luteal phase in sows increases plasma progesterone concentrations. In the current study, we searched for the mechanisms by which PRL exerts this luteotrophic effect. The objectives of the study were (1) to examine the effect of PRL and/or low-density lipoproteins (LDL) on progesterone production by porcine luteal ce...
متن کاملExogenous estradiol enhances apoptosis in regressing post-partum rat corpora lutea possibly mediated by prolactin
BACKGROUND In pregnant rats, structural luteal regression takes place after parturition and is associated with cell death by apoptosis. We have recently shown that the hormonal environment is responsible for the fate of the corpora lutea (CL). Changing the levels of circulating hormones in post-partum rats, either by injecting androgen, progesterone, or by allowing dams to suckle, was coupled w...
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 کاملComparison 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 کاملLipid metabolism in regressing rat corpora lutea of pregnancy.
Lipid accumulation is a hallmark of corpus luteum regression and we characterized lipids stored in rat corpora lutea of pregnancy between days 21 and 24 post coitum, the period of luteolysis. A 10-fold rise in lutein triglyceride concentrations occurred between days 21 and 24, which represented the major alteration in luteal lipid metabolism during luteolysis, coinciding with the appearance of ...
