Blockade of the estrogen-induced luteinizing hormone surge in monkeys: a nonsteroidal, antigenic factor in porcine follicular fluid. 1984

V M Sopelak, and G D Hodgen

That both follicular fluid extracts and ovarian hyperstimulation block estrogen-induced gonadotropin surges in primates has been established. In the present study, the differential actions of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and estradiol benzoate (E2B) on bioassayable LH (BIO-LH) secretion in the presence of a porcine follicular fluid (pFF) extract were assessed. Further, the inherent immunogenicity of the follicular fluid factor(s) that block estrogen-induced surges was examined. In castrated monkeys, administration of Florisil/charcoal-extracted pFF did not affect BIO-LH secretion induced by exogenous GnRH, although the pFF extract abolished E2B-induced BIO-LH surges. In monkeys given pFF chronically (for 6 to 8 months), immune responses capable of neutralizing the inhibitory actions of pFF on the E2B-induced BIO-LH surges developed. In these pFF-immunized monkeys, the BIO-LH surge induced by an E2B challenge was restored despite concurrent pFF injections.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
