Enhancement of mammary tumorigenesis in rats by high-fat diets has been postulated to be due to altered hormonal status. Elevated serum prolactin and, in some cases, estrogen have been reported in rats fed diets high in corn oil or lard that increase 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)
The aim was to evaluate the effect of corn oil supplementation during postpartum anoestrus on ovarian activity, pregnancy rate, progesterone (P(4)), and lipid metabolites (cholesterol, CHO; low and high density lipoproteins; LDL and HDL, respectively) concentrations in blood of F(1) (Bos taurus x
The effect of oestradiol and progesterone concentrations on the uterine PGF2 alpha response to oxytocin was investigated by measuring 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2 alpha (PGFM) secretion. One week after ovariectomy, 27 ewes were administered progestagen for 10 days followed by oestradiol for 2 days.
High affinity luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin (LH/hCG) receptors have been identified in porcine, rabbit and rat uteri and immunocytochemically demonstrated in the human uterus. We have now assessed the effect of estradiol and progesterone on the capacity and affinity of LH/hCG
Progesterone (P4) is unequivocally required to maintain a uterine environment conducive to pregnancy. This study investigated the effects of P4 treatment on expression of selected growth factors (fibroblast growth factor 7 [FGF7], FGF10, hepatocyte growth factor [HGF], and insulin-like growth
The aim of this study was to investigate the participation of the 26S proteasome in the regulation of progesterone receptor (PR) concentrations in the rat brain in vivo. Ovariectomized adult female rats were treated with estradiol (10 microg/100 g s.c.), estradiol + progesterone (400 microg/100 g),
Progesterone (P) stimulates prolactin secretion through an unknown neural mechanism in estrogen (E)-primed female monkeys. Serotonin also stimulates prolactin secretion and this laboratory demonstrated that E induces nuclear progestin receptors (PR) in serotonin neurons. Thus, PR in serotonin
Eight 2 year old Hereford cows from days 8 to 12 of the estrous cycle were injected intramuscularly with 5 ml of corn oil containing 5 mg of estradiol-17beta (two cows), estrone (two cows), progesterone (two cows) or testosterone (two cows). Each cow treated with estradiol received 494 microc of
The effects of estradiol-17 beta (E(2)) and progesterone (P) on the reproductive tract and on uterine estrogen receptors and P receptors were studied in 2-mo-old female lambs (n = 11). On Days 0, 1 and 2, E(2) (1 ug/kg, Group E, n = 4), P (0.3 mg/kg, Group P, n = 4) or corn oil (control) vehicle
In Exp. 1, endometrium was collected from Day-15 cyclic ewes and effects of oTP-1, oxytocin and oTP-1 + oxytocin, in various temporal relationships, on phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover were determined. Co-treatment of endometrium with oTP-1 and oxytocin inhibited stimulatory effects of oxytocin,
We have previously shown that the porcine oviduct possesses immunoreactive and functional LH receptors and that LH causes relaxation of the oviduct, especially during the periovulatory stage of estrous cycle. The current studies were undertaken to investigate the effects of estradiol and
Two trials were conducted to evaluate treatments combining progesterone pretreatment and prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) on estrus response, pregnancy and calving rate in heifers. Treatments in Trial 1 were 1) control (T(1); n=59), 2) 25 mg PGF(2alpha) on Day 0 (T(2); n=58), 3) 150 mg
A series of experiments was performed to investigate the influence of progesterone at Days 2 and 3 of pregnancy on conceptus development and uterine capacity. In experiment 1, unilaterally hysterectomized-ovariectomized (UHO) white crossbred gilts were given no treatment, estradiol valerate (5 mg
Three experiments were conducted, the objectives of which were to 1) examine the effects of exogenous estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) on uterine concentrations of oxytocin receptors (OTR) and OTR mRNA, as well as the effect of exogenous P4 on progesterone receptors (PR) during the late luteal
The primary objective was to examine the effects of estradiol and the progesterone receptor antagonist onapristone on the pulsatile secretion of prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) and ovarian and pituitary oxytocin. A 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of estradiol and onapristone treatments was
