AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Maria K. Gomes for the degree of Master of Science in Animal
Possible Autocrine/Paracrine Action of Progesterone in the Ovine Corpus Luteum

Creator:

Smallman, Mary A.

Abstract:

The objective of the present research was to determine, by use of the progesterone receptor antagonist RU-486, whether progesterone by autocrine/paracrine action suppresses phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis, and thus, the production of prostaglandin F2a during the midluteal phase of the estrous cycle in ewes. Two experiments were performed. Experiment 1 consisted of...
