The localization of cytochrome P-450 of 17 alpha-hydroxylase/C17-C20 lyase (P-450(17 alpha, lyase] and the changes of the enzyme activity were studied immunocytochemically and biochemically in the ovaries of immature rats treated with PMSG (pregnant mare serum gonadotropin) and hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Immunocytochemically, P-450(17 alpha, lyase) was localized in both the theca interna cells and interstitial gland cells of the ovaries of immature rats treated with PMSG for 48 h. After hCG administration, the immunoreactive cells rapidly decreased in number in the PMSG-pretreated rat ovary. Namely, 6 h after the hCG injection, positive staining for P-450(17 alpha, lyase) was recognized only in a few theca interna cells, while 12 h after the injection to immunostained cells were detected in the ovary. Forty-eight hours after the hGC treatment (96 h after the PMSG injection), most of the theca interna cells and the interstitial gland cells became immunopositive for P-450(17 alpha, lyase) again. The 17 alpha-hydroxylating activity of P-450(17 alpha, lyase) was 0.5, 0.22 and 0.03 nmol/min/mg protein in the ovarian microsomes of PMSG-treated, PMSG + hCG(3 h)-treated and PMSG + hCG(6 h)-treated rats, respectively. Changes of the hydroxylase activities in all the experimental groups are almost parallel to those of P-450 contents in the microsomes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).

D006064 Gonadotropins, Equine Gonadotropins secreted by the pituitary or the placenta in horses. This term generally refers to the gonadotropins found in the pregnant mare serum, a rich source of equine CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN; LUTEINIZING HORMONE; and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. Unlike that in humans, the equine LUTEINIZING HORMONE, BETA SUBUNIT is identical to the equine choronic gonadotropin, beta. Equine gonadotropins prepared from pregnant mare serum are used in reproductive studies.
