Astaxanthin increases progesterone production in cultured bovine luteal cells
Although astaxanthin (AST) is known to be a strong antioxidant, its effects on reproductive function in domestic animals have not yet been elucidated in detail. Therefore, we investigated the effects of AST on luteal cells, which produce progesterone (P4), an important hormone for maintaining pregnancy. Luteal cells were prepared by collagenase dispersion of the corpus luteum (CL). The addition...
متن کاملIsocupressic acid blocks progesterone production from bovine luteal cells.
The needles of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) were reported to induce abortions when fed to late-term pregnant beef cows in North America. An in vivo study of pregnant cows suggested that isocupressic acid (IA) was the main abortifacient isolated from needles and bark of the pine. However, the mechanism of abortifacient activity of IA is not clear yet. In a pregnant cow, the corpus lute...
متن کاملHuman placental tissue stimulates bovine capillary endothelial cell growth, migration and protease production.
A crude extract of human placenta has been demonstrated to stimulate growth, motility and the production of the proteases plasminogen activator and collagenase in cultured bovine capillary endothelial cells. These data are in keeping with the presence of an angiogenic factor(s) in human placenta.
متن کاملNorepinephrine stimulates progesterone production in highly estrogenic bovine granulosa cells cultured under serum-free, chemically defined conditions
BACKGROUND Since noradrenergic innervation was described in the ovarian follicle, the actions of the intraovarian catecholaminergic system have been the focus of a variety of studies. We aimed to determine the gonadotropin-independent effects of the catecholamine norepinephrine (NE) in the steroid hormone profile of a serum-free granulosa cell (GC) culture system in the context of follicular de...
متن کاملRole of lipoproteins and de-novo cholesterol synthesis in progesterone production by cultured bovine luteal cells
serum and, while dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) caused a marked stimulation of progesterone production in complete serum, it had only a small effect in LPDS. Lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) increased basal and dbcAMP-stimulated progesterone production. Cells were 7 times more sensitive to LDL than HDL although the maximum response to both lipoproteins did not diff...
