| Popis: | Follicular fluid from small porcine follicles was filtrated through an Amicon XM-50 membrane to obtain a filtrate less than 50, 000 MW. The filtrate was eluted through a Sephadex G-25 column (1.5×70 cm) using 0.01 N CH3COOH, pH 4.0, as elution buffer, and divided to five fractions. To test the inhibitory activity of these fractions on the in vitro estradiol and progesterone secretion, each fraction was added into a rat granulosa cell culture with FSH and testosterone in the medium. Two of five fractions exerted a significant inhibitory activity on the estradiol and progesterone secretions by the granulosa cells. They were in a range of low molecular weight fractions (MW 1, 000-3, 000) on the elution profile. Whether the in vitro active fractions are capable of inhibiting the in vivo estradiol and progesterone secretions by the ovary was assessed using the hypophysectomized DES-treated immature rat with hMG stimulation and the testosterone-treated immature rat with PMSG stimulation. The administration of the fractions to the former animal significantly suppressed the increases due to gonadotropin in the ovarian and serum estradiol concentrations. The administration of the fractions to the latter animal significantly suppressed the increases due to gonadotropin in the estradiol and progesterone concentrations of the ovary and serum. These results suggest that a low molecular weight substance from porcine small follicular fluid is capable of inhibiting the estradiol and progesterone biosyntheses in the follicle of the rat ovary. |
