Nongenomic inhibition of oxytocin binding by progesterone in ovine uteri

Creator:

Dunlap, Kathrin Anson

Abstract:

Effects of progesterone (P₄) and mifepristone (RU 486) on binding of oxytocin (OT) to its ovine uterine receptor (OTR) were studied in two experiments. Two additional experiments were conducted to evaluate specific binding sites for P4 in endometrial plasma membranes. In Exp. 1, ovariectomized ewes were injected with estradiol-17β (E₂)...

Effects of conjugated linoleic acids on PGE₂, PGF₂α and progesterone production by bovine luteal cells in vitro

Creator:

May, Katherine C. P.

Abstract:

Feeding conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) improves reproductive performance in dairy cows; however, the molecular mechanisms by which CLA improves reproduction are not well understood. Therefore, we evaluated whether the CLA isomers, trans-10, cis-12 CLA and cis-9, trans-11 CLA altered synthesis of steroidogenic hormones in bovine luteal cells by measuring concentrations...
