Local uterine mechanisms affecting luteal function in the sheep.

چکیده
The ovary not containing the corpus luteum was removed from each of fifty-two ewes on Day 8 of the cycle. These animals were then allocated to one of the following groups. Group 1 : (control) received no further treatment. Group 2: the contralateral uterine horn, i.e. located on the side opposite to the corpus luteum, was removed. Group 3 : the ipsilateral uterine horn, i.e. located on the same side as the corpus luteum, was removed.

Regulation of numbers of macrophages in the endometrium of the sheep by systemic effects of pregnancy, local presence of the conceptus, and progesterone.
Many species exhibiting hemochorial placentation experience an accumulation of macrophages in the endometrium during pregnancy. For the present study, it was tested whether macrophages also accumulate in the endometrium of the sheep, which is a species undergoing an epitheliochorial placentation. An additional objective was to determine whether regulation of endometrial macrophage number occurs...
متن کاملThe effect of ram exposure on uterine involution and luteal function during the postpartum period of hair sheep ewes in the tropics.
St. Croix White hair sheep ewes lambing in July (n = 20) or November (n = 26) were used to evaluate the effect of ram exposure on uterine involution and postpartum luteal function. Ewes were exposed to an epididymectomized ram (EXPOSED) beginning on d 7 after lambing (d 0) or kept isolated from rams (CONTROL) through d 63. The width of each uterine horn was measured using transrectal ultrasonog...
متن کاملRelationship of endocrine state to spontaneous motility of sheep myometrium in vitro.
I T is generally considered that uterine motility is high during the follicular phase of the estrous cycle and relatively low during the luteal phase, although motility during the luteal phase varies somewhat among studies. In sheep, neither the variation in spontaneous uterine motility during the estrous cycle nor the effects of exogenous ovarian hormones on this motility have been studied ext...
متن کاملThe central oxytocin pulse generator: a pacemaker for the ovarian cycle.
During luteolysis in sheep, episodic pulses of oxytocin (OT), contributed by the neurohypophysis and the corpus luteum (CL), stimulate uterine luteolytic pulses of prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha via endometrial OT receptors. To distinguish relative contributions of neurohypophysial and luteal OT, ovariectomized sheep were given estradiol-17 beta (E) and progesterone (P) to stimulate levels during ...
متن کاملLuteal regression vs. prepartum luteolysis: regulatory mechanisms governing canine corpus luteum function.
Canine reproductive physiology exhibits several unusual features. Among the most interesting of these are the lack of an acute luteolytic mechanism, coinciding with the apparent luteal independency of a uterine luteolysin in absence of pregnancy, contrasting with the acute prepartum luteolysis observed in pregnant animals. These features indicate the existence of mechanisms different from those...
