Immunopresence and functional activity of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthases and nitric oxide synthases in bovine corpora lutea during diestrus.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and the activity of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1), PTGS2, and endothelial, neuronal, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (e-, n-, and iNOS) in early, mid, late, and regressive corpora lutea (CL) of bovines during diestrus. PTGS1 immunoreactivity was localised mainly in the cytoplasm of small luteal cells, whereas PTGS2 was det...
متن کاملMicrovascularization and angiogenic activity of equine corpora lutea throughout the estrous cycle.
Corpus luteum growth and endocrine function are closely dependent on the formation of new capillaries. The objectives of this study were to evaluate (i) tissue growth and microvascular development in the equine cyclic luteal structures; (ii) in vitro angiogenic activity of luteal tissues in response to luteotrophic (LH, PGE(2)) and luteolytic (PGF(2alpha)) hormones and (iii) to relate data to l...
متن کاملProstaglandin F2α promotes ovulation in prepubertal heifers.
The objective was to determine the effects of exogenous prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF), with or without progesterone treatment, on first ovulation in prepubertal heifers. We tested the hypothesis that PGF has a luteolysis-independent ovulatory effect in cattle. Crossbred Angus heifers (12 to 14 mo old, 250 kg body weight, and an average body condition score of 3 out of 5) were examined by transrecta...
متن کاملLuteoprotective Mechanisms of Prostaglandin F2α Stimulated by Luteinizing Hormone in the Bovine Corpus Luteum
Luteinizing hormone (LH) regulates several ovarian functions. However, the luteoprotective mechanisms of LH involved in the maintenance of bovine corpus luteum (CL) function are not well understood. Since prostaglandin F2α (PGF), PGE2 and progesterone (P4) are well documented as antiapoptotic factors in the bovine CL, we hypothesized that LH protects the CL by stimulating the local production a...
