Inhibin activity and secretion of gonadotropin during the period of follicular maturation.

Abstract:

:To evaluate the relative contributions of the ovarian inhibin and estradiol-17 beta (E) on the regulation of FSH secretion, inhibin and E in ovarian venous plasma (OVP) and FSH and LH in peripheral plasma were simultaneously measured using superovulating rats with special reference to follicular maturation. By the transplantation of a pituitary gland from adult male rats under the kidney capsule between 1100 and 1200 hr on diestrus-1 in cyclic rats, superovulation was successfully induced on the morning of the next estrus without any additional treatment with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The number of maturing follicles capable of ovulating in response to hCG significantly increased at 12 hours after the grafting as compared with sham-operated controls and further increases occurred until the afternoon of proestrus. In the superovulating rat, first and second surges of FSH were completely blocked and an LH surge was also partially suppressed during the periovulatory period when surges of FSH and LH were normally observed in controls. Contents of FSH as well as LH in the animal's own pituitary gland were suppressed significantly after the grafting as compared with controls. A marked increase in inhibin activity in OVP of rats with a pituitary transplant occurred concomitantly with an increase in the number of follicles capable of ovulating whereas E levels in OVP did not so. Inhibin activity in OVP at each point was much higher in the pituitary grafted rats than in controls but this was not true for E levels. These results suggest that ovarian inhibin derived from the maturing follicles rather than E may be a primary factor for regulation of FSH secretion, and high levels of endogenous inhibin can suppress synthesis of LH as well as FSH in the pituitary gland of the female rat.
