Growth hormone (GH) and IGF-I have receptors within the corpus luteum (CL) and stimulate CL function. Our objective was to investigate the effects of GH, prolactin (PRL), IGF-I, IGF-II, LH, and FSH on progesterone secretion by porcine luteal cells during mid-pregnancy. Gilts (crossbred Yorkshire/Landrace) were slaughtered on d 44 of pregnancy and CL were collected. Large and small luteal cells (LLC and SLC, respectively) were obtained from dissociated CL and separated by elutriation. Luteal cells were incubated with 0, 1, 10, or 100 ng/mL of GH, PRL, IGF-I, IGF-II, LH, and FSH or combinations of 10 ng/mL of these reagents for 24 or 48 h. Culture media were harvested and concentrations of progesterone analyzed by radioimmunoassay. Growth hormone, PRL, and IGF-I increased (P < .05; 100 ng/mL dose) concentrations of progesterone in media of LLC. Insulin-like growth factor-II, LH, and FSH had no effect on progesterone in LLC cultures. In SLC cultures, GH, PRL, IGF-I, IGF-II, and FSH failed to stimulate progesterone secretion, whereas LH increased progesterone secretion (linear effect of dose; P < .05). Combinations (10 ng/mL each hormone) of GH and IGF-I or PRL and IGF-I increased progesterone secretion by LLC compared with control, GH, PRL, or IGF-I alone (P < .05). Similar combinations of GH or PRL with IGF-I had no effect on SLC. Conclusions are that GH and PRL are stimulatory to progesterone secretion by LLC (location of GH receptor) and SLC are responsive to LH during mid-pregnancy. Both GH and PRL are synergistic with IGF-I for increased progesterone secretion.

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.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
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.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH 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.
