PROSTAGLANDIN PRODUCTION BY INTRA-UTERINE TISSUES FROM PERIPARTURIENT SHEEP: USE OF A SUPERFUSION TECHNIQUE

PROSTAGLANDIN PRODUCTION BY INTRA-UTERINE TISSUES FROM PERIPARTURIENT SHEEP: USE OF A SUPERFUSION... SUMMARYA technique for the continuous superfusion of small tissue samples in vitro has been applied to the study of prostaglandin production by ovine intra-uterine tissues. Basal and oxytocin-stimulated production of prostaglandins was studied at 120–125 days of pregnancy and after dexamethasone-induced delivery. In general, the relative rate of prostaglandin production by tissues was: foetal cotyledon = maternal cotyledon>myometrium and in quantitative order the prostaglandins produced were prostaglandin E (PGE) > prostaglandin F (PGF) = 13,14-dihydro-15-oxo-prostaglandin F (PGFM). Considerable variation was found between the rates of prostaglandin production in individual sheep. Oxytocin had no effect on the production of prostaglandins by tissues obtained before labour but myometrium and maternal cotyledon obtained at delivery exhibited a significant increase in production of PGE and PGF (though not PGFM) in response to oxytocin. Administration of arachidonic acid increased the production of PGE and PGF by the foetal cotyledon. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Endocrinology Bioscientifica

Abstract

SUMMARYA technique for the continuous superfusion of small tissue samples in vitro has been applied to the study of prostaglandin production by ovine intra-uterine tissues. Basal and oxytocin-stimulated production of prostaglandins was studied at 120–125 days of pregnancy and after dexamethasone-induced delivery. In general, the relative rate of prostaglandin production by tissues was: foetal cotyledon = maternal cotyledon>myometrium and in quantitative order the prostaglandins produced were prostaglandin E (PGE) > prostaglandin F (PGF) = 13,14-dihydro-15-oxo-prostaglandin F (PGFM). Considerable variation was found between the rates of prostaglandin production in individual sheep. Oxytocin had no effect on the production of prostaglandins by tissues obtained before labour but myometrium and maternal cotyledon obtained at delivery exhibited a significant increase in production of PGE and PGF (though not PGFM) in response to oxytocin. Administration of arachidonic acid increased the production of PGE and PGF by the foetal cotyledon.
