Estrogen production by fetal and infantile rat ovaries.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The de novo production of estrone and estradiol by the fetal and infantile rat ovary and its regulation by cAMP, LH and FSH were investigated. Basal estrogen secretion was not demonstrable before d 5 after birth. However, the fetal ovary was responsive to cAMP as early as 14 d old. Estrone was the main estrogen secreted. Steroid aromatase inhibitors inhibited cAMP-stimulated estrone secretion. Responsiveness to LH and FSH appeared at 5 d after birth. The proportion of estradiol grew more important with advancing age, becoming predominant at 7 d.

Anti-müllerian hormone and freemartinism: inhibition of germ cell development and induction of seminiferous cord-like structures in rat fetal ovaries exposed in vitro to purified bovine AMH.
In 13 and 14-day old fetal rat ovaries maintained 3 to 10 days in organ culture, purified bovine anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) (1.5 to 3 micrograms/ml) induced a characteristic freemartin effect. Gonadal volume and germ cell number were significantly reduced, compared to control ovaries cultured in anhormonal medium, and epithelial cells with large clear cytoplasm linked by interdigitations diff...
متن کاملEffects of Tribulus Terrestris extract and Vitamin C on changes induced by cyclophosphamide in the rat ovary
Introduction: Cyclophosphamide (CYP) is an alkylating agent, which is used in different diseases. It has several important side effects on ovaries. Tribulus terrestris extract (TTE) has different steroidal saponins and has been used for a long time as an aphrodisiac. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of TTE on the toxicity of CYP in the ovary of rats. Methods: For...
متن کاملContributions of androgen and estrogen to fetal programming of ovarian dysfunction
In female mammals, including humans, deviations from normal androgenic or estrogenic exposure during fetal development are detrimental to subsequent adult ovarian function. Androgen deficiency, without accompanying estrogen deficit, has little apparent impact on ovarian development. Fetal estrogen deficiency, on the other hand, results in impaired oocyte and follicle development, immature and a...
متن کاملThe effect of down-regulation of CCL5 on lipopolysaccharide-induced WI-38 fibroblast injury: a potential role for infantile pneumonia
Objective(s): Aberrant expression of CCL5 has been found in several kinds of inflammatory diseases, and the roles of CCL5 in these diseases have also been reported. However, the role of CCL5 in infantile pneumonia is still unclear. Thus, the function and acting mechanism of CCL5 in the in vitro model of infantile pneumonia were researched in this study. Materials and Methods: Human fetal lung f...
