Abstract:
:Midluteal phase corpora lutea (CL) obtained from women induced with 50 mg (n = 5), 100 mg (n = 5), and 150 mg (n = 5) of clomiphene citrate (CC) were measured for luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin (LH/hCG) concentrations and cytosol progesterone (P) and 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) and compared with midluteal phase CL from eight normal women (controls). More CL (26) that were significantly heavier (2.0 +/- 0.3 g, [mean +/- SEM]) were obtained with CC than in controls (10). Clomiphene citrate treatment increased LH/hCG receptor concentrations and the dissociation constant significantly from 69 +/- 12 fmol/mg protein and 1.1 +/- 0.2 x 10(-10) M, respectively, in controls to 112 +/- 6 fmol/mg protein and 2.1 +/- 0.1 X 10(-10) M. Cytosol P and 17-OHP levels were not significantly increased. Cumulatively these cellular effects may be responsible for increasing serum P and responsiveness to hCG and for correcting luteal dysfunction.
