A simple specific and reproducible method for determination of plasminogen activator activity in rat ovaries has been developed by using the chromogenic substrate S-2251. The two steps of enzymatic reactions, i.e. activation of plasminogen and subsequent hydrolysis of the substrate was performed in one step incubation. A linear relationship was observed between the amount of chromogen produced and activator activity in the range of the optical density form 0.05 to 1.20 for 30 min's incubation. Endogenous activity of non-specific proteases, plasmin or plasmin inhibitors which might be contained in rat ovaries turned out not to interfere with the specificity of a standardized assay procedure. Reproducibility was firmly established with coefficient of variation not exceeding 10%. Using this method, a marked increase followed by a drastic decrease in the activator activity was shown with rat ovaries around the time of ovulation after the injection of human chorionic gonadotropin.

D009842 Oligopeptides Peptides composed of between two and twelve amino acids. Oligopeptide
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. Ovaries
D010960 Plasminogen Activators A heterogeneous group of proteolytic enzymes that convert PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN. They are concentrated in the lysosomes of most cells and in the vascular endothelium, particularly in the vessels of the microcirculation.

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).
