Abstract:
:Ovaries isolated from rats in different stages of the sex cycle were explored for spontaneous or drug-induced contractile activity. The number of spontaneously active ovaries as well as the magnitude of the isometrically developed tension and frequency of contractions were greater during the periovulatory interval (late proestrus and estrus) than during early proestrus or metestrus. Furthermore, during estrus or late proestrus the left ovaries exhibited a mechanical activity significantly greater than that of the right ovaries. The oxytocin-triggered motility was clearly more marked immediately prior to ovulation (late proestrus) and greater in left ovaries than in right ovaries. In contrast, the contractions induced by prostaglandin F2alpha were similar during early proestrus and late proestrus. Ovarian contractile reactivity to norepinephrine indicated the presence in the tissue of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors. During early proestrus this agent stimulated the motility of left and right ovaries, whereas close to the ovulatory interval (late proestrus) it depressed the contractions of left ovaries. This last influence was blocked by propranolol. The existence of a close relationship between ovarian contractile activity and ovulation is reinforced by the present results in the rat. A tentative participation of oxytocin is also suggested. In addition, the influences of other possible regulatory agents of ovarian contraction, such as catecholamines and prostaglandins, are presented and discussed.
