Abstract:
:The possible role of prostaglandins (PGs) in the hypothalamic control of ovulation has been investigated by studying the effects of indomethacin (ID) and PGs on the release of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) from hypothalamic synaptosomes. Female rats were chronically pretreated with ID on diestrus 2 (D2) and proestrus (P), or on diestrus 1 (D1) and D2. Basal LHRH release from hypothalamic synaptosomes prepared from rats pretreated on D2/P was reduced to 48% after a 20-min incubation period, compared with sham-treated animals. ID pretreatment on D1/D2 caused a similar but less marked reduction in LHRH release (to 66% of controls at 20 min). Extraction of the LHRH remaining within the synaptosomal pellet showed that ID pretreatment also reduced the synaptosome content of LHRH. (15S)-15-methyl PGE2 (15-E2) (10(-4) and 10(-6) M) added to the incubating medium stimulated the release of LHRH BY APPROXIMATELY 40%, but this effect was only observed in synaptosomes prepared from ID-treated rats. PGE2 (10(-4) and 10(-6) M) had no significant effect in either sham-treated or ID-treated groups.
