Abstract:
:Oxytocin concentrations were determined in baboon (Papio anubis) corpora lutea, and the effect of oxytocin on dispersed luteal cell progesterone production was evaluated. Oxytocin concentrations increased significantly from an early luteal phase value of 2.1 +/- 1.1 ng/gm to a peak concentration of 18.1 +/- 4.3 ng/gm wet weight in midluteal phase corpora lutea. Corpora albicantia and ovarian stroma had comparatively low oxytocin concentrations. Reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography of corpora lutea extracts gave a peptide peak (retention time, 17.25 min) similar to a standard oxytocin peak. Plasma oxytocin levels, which were significantly higher in the ovarian vein draining a corpus luteum than in the contralateral side or the femoral vein, declined significantly after luteectomy. Oxytocin was localized by immunocytochemical methods in luteal cells. In the early luteal phase oxytocin (4 to 800 mU; 1 mU is equivalent to 2 ng) inhibited basal and human chorionic gonadotropin-stimulated progesterone production by dispersed luteal cells, but in the late luteal phase 200 to 800 mU oxytocin inhibited only human chorionic gonadotropin-stimulated progesterone output. Oxytocin did not affect luteal cell progesterone production in the midluteal phase. Thus oxytocin is present in corpora lutea, can be localized in the luteal cells, is probably produced locally, and may modulate luteal cell progesterone production.
