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 the corpora lutea (CL). Two to five grams of minced luteal tissue were dispersed using collagenase and hyaluronidase in HEPES buffered salt solution supplemented with glucose and bovine serum albumin. Dispersed cells were rinsed in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), counted (ratio of large to total number of luteal cells determined) and then incubated for 1 h in DMEM. With aliquots standardized to 2.5 X 10(4) viable, large cells (greater than 25 micron diameter) were incubated in 1 ml DMEM for 2 h in the presence of either 10, 50, 100 or 1,000 ng luteinizing hormone (LH); .1, 1, 10 or 100 ng hCG; 10, 100 or 1,000 ng norepinephrine (NE) or either .75, or 1.5 mM dibutyrl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dbcAMP). Progesterone (P4) in the medium was quantified by radioimmunoassay. Basal P4 production (no P4 stimulator added to the medium) on d 10, 14, 18, 22 and 26 for P gilts was 246 +/- 9, 66 +/- 4, 64 +/- 6, 41 +/- 3 and 69 +/- 6 ng/ml medium, respectively, and for M gilts was 281 +/- 12, 128 +/- 8, 53 +/- 4, 82 +/- 6, 101 +/- 5 ng/ml medium, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The timing of the post-ovulatory progesterone rise is critical to the embryonic development and survival. The aim of this study was to determine the underlying causes of delayed post-ovulatory progesterone rises. Two groups of non-lactating dairy cows with early (n = 11) or late (n = 9) post-ovulatory progesterone rises were created by inducing luteolysis in the presence of either a large (> 10 mm) or small (< 10 mm) follicle, respectively. LH pulses were measured on days 4 (all cows) and 7 (n = 7, early; n = 5, late) (day 1= ovulation). The cows were slaughtered on day 5 (n = 4 each group) or 8 (n = 7, early; n = 5, late). Immunohistochemical analysis for endothelial cells (von Willebrand Factor, VWF), steroidogenic cells (3beta-HSD) and proliferation marker (Ki67) were performed. The basal progesterone production and LH responsiveness (0.001-100 ng/ml) of dispersed luteal cells was investigated. The luteal concentrations of FGF-2 and VEGF were measured by ELISA and RIA, respectively. There were no differences in LH pulse characteristics, area of VWF staining, proliferation index, steroidogenic cell characteristics, basal or LH-stimulated progesterone production by luteal cells between cows with an early or late progesterone rise (P > 0.10). However, the area of VWF staining increased from days 5 to 8, while the proliferation index decreased (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the luteal cells were more responsive to LH on day 8 (P < 0.01). Luteal concentrations of FGF-2 were higher on day 5 (P = 0.05), while VEGF was greater on day 8 (P < 0.01). In conclusion, we have clearly shown that LH support, degree of vascularization or luteal cell steroidogenic capacity were not the major factors responsible for inadequate secretion of progesterone by the developing bovine CL. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to assess relationships between 1) number of corpora lutea (CL) and concentrations of progesterone (P) in plasma of goats from onset of estrus (d 0) to d 45 of pregnancy and 2) concentration of P and number of fetuses on d 45. Blood from 79 pregnant goats was obtained on d 0 and 1 and at 48-h intervals thereafter to d 25 of gestation. Additional samples were collected every 5 d from d 25 to d 45. Plasma samples were analyzed for P by RIA. Fetuses and CL were counted at laparotomy on d 45 +/- 3. Six does had one CL, 47 had two and 26 had three or four. Concentrations of P were compared for 1) animals with different numbers of CL and 2) animals with the same number of CL but different numbers of fetuses on d 45. Concentration of P increased in all animals from d 3 to a maximum of 8.5 +/- .3 ng/ml on d 13, then P declined to 5 +/- .3 ng/ml by d 35. Goats with multiple CL had higher P than goats with one CL (P less than .01) from d 7 to d 30. Of goats with two CL, those with two fetuses at d 45 had higher P on d 13 than those with one fetus (P less than .01). The number of CL or fetuses did not influence the concentration of P after d 30. 相似文献

This study was designed to determine if luteal cell receptors for luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin (LH/hCG) contribute to the previously demonstrated abnormal function of induced corpora lutea (CL) in gilts. Twenty-five prepuberal (P) gilts, induced to ovulate with 1,500 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin followed 72 h later with 500 IU hCG (d 0 = day of hCG), and 22 mature (M) gilts that had displayed two or more estrous cycles were ovariectomized (OVX) on d 10, 14, 18, 22 or 26 after the onset of estrus. All gilts except those OVX on d 10 were hysterectomized between d 6 and 9 to ensure luteal maintenance. The CL were stored at -196 degrees C until determination of LH/hCG receptor number and dissociation constant (KD) by saturation analysis. Receptor number was greater for M than for P gilts on d 14 (P less than .07) and d 18 (P less than .01). The KD was greater in M than in P gilts on d 14 (P less than .01) and d 18 (P less than .0001). The LH/hCG receptor number and KD of P gilts remained the same throughout the days studied. The LH/hCG receptor number (fmol/mg protein) of M gilts was elevated on d 10, 14, and 18 (50.8, 50.4 and 51.4, respectively) and decreased on d 22 (26.5) and d 26 (25.4) to values similar to those of P gilts. In M gilts, KD increased on d 14, remained high on d 18 and decreased on d 22. We suggest that abnormal function of induced CL in P gilts may be due to an elevated LH receptor number. 相似文献

Fifty Holstein dairy cows with palpable corpora lutea were divided into two groups. Twenty-five cows were given 500 micrograms of cloprostenol followed by 8 micrograms (2 mL) of buserelin, an analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, and 25 were given cloprostenol followed by saline. Milk was collected for progesterone assay at the time of treatment and two days later. Differences in median progesterone concentrations before and following treatment were not significantly different between the saline and buserelin treated cows (p greater than 0.23). 相似文献

The hypothesis that subnormal luteal function after induced ovulation in anestrous ewes was the result of uterine influences exerted during the periovulatory period was tested. Crossbred ewes (n = 27) in seasonal anestrus were induced to ovulate by administration of 12 doses of 250 ng of LHRH at 2-h intervals, followed immediately by a bolus injection of LHRH (250 micrograms; d 0). Ewes were unilaterally hysterectomized on either d -3 (PRELHRH) or 2 (POSTLHRH). Daily blood samples were collected and assayed for progesterone (P4) and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM). All ewes were slaughtered on d 10, and corpora lutea (CL) were collected, weighed, and assayed for concentration of P4. All ewes that ovulated exclusively in the ovary ipsilateral to the remaining uterine horn had a transient increase in plasma P4 of 2 to 3 d (short luteal phase). In ewes with at least one CL in the isolated ovary, elevated plasma P4 was maintained after hysterectomy but was consistently lower (P less than .05) in POSTLHRH ewes than in PRELHRH ewes. Concentrations of PGFM did not differ between treatments. The CL ipsilateral to the remaining uterine horn weighted less (P less than .01) and contained less P4 (P less than .01) than contralateral CL. These data confirm the hypothesis that premature regression of subnormal CL is uterine-dependent in a local fashion. Presence of the uterus during the follicular and(or) early luteal phase inhibited subsequent luteal function in seasonally anestrous ewes. 相似文献

Plasma progesterone profiles were used to assess superovulatory responses in cyclic yaks (n=10) in terms of the number of ovulations and the number of embryos recovered. The animals were synchronized into oestrus following Ovsynch treatment. All the animals received a total of 200 mg Folltropin divided into morning and evening and spread over 4 days, beginning on day 10 of the oestrus cycle (day of expected oestrus=day 0). Plasma samples for progesterone estimation were collected daily starting from the day of expected synchronized oestrus to the day of flushing. All the animals were palpated per rectum on the day of flushing in order to record the number of corpora lutea. Of an estimated 27 ovulations from the nine yaks, only 16 embryos were recovered. Plasma progesterone profiles from individual yaks suggested that a poor superovulatory response in terms of embryo recovery in some animals was caused by the lysis of corpora lutea before flushing which was carried out 7 days after superovulatory oestrus. It was suggested that flushing 5 days post superovulatory oestrus could improve the superovulatory response in this species. 相似文献

This study was designed to determine whether leptin modulates growth hormone (GH)- and insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I)-stimulated progesterone (P4) production by corpora lutea (CL). Luteal cells were recovered from early developing (ELP) and mature (MLP) corpora lutea and cultured in defined medium with various combinations of GH, IGF-I, and leptin (0-200 ng/ml). P4 concentrations in the media were determined after 48 h of culture. During the early luteal phase, leptin at all used doses had no effect on basal P4 secretion, but it did suppress caspase-3 activity. When added in combination with GH, it had no effect on either GH-stimulated P4 secretion or apoptosis. Concomitant treatment with IGF-I and leptin decreased P4 secretion and parallelly increased the apoptosis rate. In mature corpora lutea of full secreting capacity, leptin at all doses had no effect on basal and GH-stimulated P4 secretion and caspase-3 activity. Only at the highest dose (200 ng/ml) when leptin was added with IGF-I did P4 secretion decrease with no effect on the caspase-3 activity. We conclude that the role of leptin is to restrict the stage of CL formation. During this luteal phase, leptin acts as an antiapoptotic factor and, at the same time, reverses antiapoptotic action of IGF-I, thereby protecting cells from excessive apoptosis and supporting retention of appropriate cell numbers, which is necessary for maintenance of homeostasis in developing CL. 相似文献

Ultrasound‐guided follicular aspiration was performed in 26 Criollo crossbred mares, followed by the evaluation of ultrasonographic images of the Corpus luteum (CL) that was formed after puncture of follicles of different diameters (Group 25–29 mm; Group 30–35 mm and Group >35 mm). Serum progesterone (P4) concentrations were measured to determine CL function. The size of the CL was measured and the CL was classified based on the following echoscore: 1– anechoic tissue; 2– poorly defined luteal structure with low echogenicity; 3– echogenicity analogous to a luteal structure. The proportion of aspirated follicles that formed a functional CL (based on P4 concentration) 8 days after aspiration was 57.1% (4/7; CL size 25–29 mm), 75.0% (6/8; CL size 30–35 mm) and 72.7% (8/11; CL size >35 mm), respectively (p > 0.05). The echographic scores of aspirated follicles (indicating the presence or absence of a CL) were consistent with serum P4 concentrations (p < 0.0001). Of 26 aspirations, 18 resulted in luteal function confirmed by increased progesterone concentrations ([P4] > 1.0 ng/ml); 17 of these mares (94.4%) had an echoscore (2–3) compatible with luteinization (p = 0.0372). Eight days after aspiration, serum [P4] > 2.0 ng/ml was associated with high (p = 0.0056) CL echoscore (3) in 15 of 17 mares (88.2%). The echoscore used in this study was valuable as a screening test to detect the presence of a functional CL after aspiration. An echoscore of 3 served as a practical and efficient method to confirm luteinization. 相似文献

Inhalt Die Konzentration von 17-β-Östradiol im liquor folliculi und Pregnenolon im lutealen Gewebe wurde während des Brunstzyklus bei 63 Schafen bestimmt. Die Konzentration von 17- β-Östradiol erreichte ein Maximum am Tag 16. Bei Eintritt des Östrus fiel die Konzentration um mehr als 50 %. Während der progestativen Phase wurden in der Regel geringe Konzentrationen gemessen, obwohl einige Follikel um Tag 8 hohe Konzentrationen zeigten. Bei Eintritt der Brunst war die Pregnenolon-Konzentration 20mal höher als die von Progesteron. Nach der Ovulation fiel die Pregnenolon-Konzentration, während die Progesteron-Konzentration am dritten Tag ein Maximum erreichte, um dann bis zum Tag 6 abzufallen und erneut am Tag 12 einen Höhepunkt zu erreichen. Die Pregnenolon-Konzentration begann ab Tag 6 anzusteigen, um am Tag 14 einen Höhepunkt zu erreichen. Die Ergebnisse Lassen vermuten, daβ während der ersten 4 Zyklustage Pregnenolon der limitierende Faktor ist in der Progesteron-Synthese, wäbrend vom Tag 12 an die Konversion von Pregnenolon in Progesteron allmäblich gehemmt wird. Contents The concentration of oestradiol-17 β in follicular fluid and of progesterone and pregnenolone in luteal tissue were determined throughout the oestrous cycle in 63 ewes. The concentration of oestradiol-17 β reached a maximum on day 16. At oestrus the concentration was reduced by more than 50%. During dioestrous generally low concentrations were determined although some follicles showed high concentrations around day 8. At oestrous the concentration of pregnenolone was 20 times higher than that of progesterone. After ovulation the concentration of pregnenolone dropped whereas the concentration of progesterone increased to a maximum on day 3, then decreased until day 6 when it again increased to a peak on day 12. The concentration of pregnenolone gradually increased from day 6 reaching a peak on day 14. The results suggest that during the first four days of the cycle pregnenolone may be the limiting factor in the progesterone synthesis while from day 12 onwards the conversion of pregnenolone in progesterone is gradually inhibited. 相似文献
