Oestrone sulphatase activity of the rat uterus in different hormonal states. 1980

E Utaaker, and K F Støa

Oestrone sulphatase activity was determined in 12,500 g supernatant of rat homogenates. The conditions used were 0.5 mM oestrone sulphate and 30 min incubation at pH 8.0 and 37 degrees C. The enzyme activity in uteri from normal animals was found to be 5.1 +/- 0.7 nmol (mg protein)-1 h-1. In ovariectomized and hypophysectomized animals the values were significantly higher, whereas subcutaneous administration of 17 beta-oestradiol to such rats resulted in significantly decreased oestrone sulphatase activities. Progesterone increased the enzyme activity of intact rats. It is concluded that the uterine tissue of rats contains oestrone sulphatase which may be of biological importance and which is inhibited by oestrogen.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007016 Hypophysectomy Surgical removal or destruction of the hypophysis, or pituitary gland. (Dorland, 28th ed) Hypophysectomies
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D004958 Estradiol The 17-beta-isomer of estradiol, an aromatized C18 steroid with hydroxyl group at 3-beta- and 17-beta-position.

D004970 Estrone An aromatized C18 steroid with a 3-hydroxyl group and a 17-ketone, a major mammalian estrogen. It is converted from ANDROSTENEDIONE directly, or from TESTOSTERONE via ESTRADIOL. In humans, it is produced primarily by the cyclic ovaries, PLACENTA, and the ADIPOSE TISSUE of men and postmenopausal women.
