In both CA1 and CA3, increased excitability was noted at proestrus and estrus, compared with metestrous and ovariectomized rats. The maximum amplitude of the CA1 population spike increased at proestrus, concomitant to rising mean estrogen levels. Similarly, the incidence of CA3 hyperexcitability increased at proestrus, the rate of hyperexcitability being positively correlated with serum estradiol levels measured at the time of death. However, other factors than circulating estrogen could have contributed to the results, because the increase in both CA1 and CA3 excitability was even greater at estrus, when estrogen is low. There are two possible explanations for this. First, responses to estrogen may continue to develop for some time after the peak in circulating estrogen. Effects of estrogen in the brain typically last for a considerable period, well beyond the time when the hormone itself is cleared from the circulation (Clark et al., 1981; McEwen et al., 1990). Effects on BDNF immunoreactivity ...

For the past 30 years I have studied the neuroendocrine regulation of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, in part by developing and utilizing physiological methods to monitor and analyze GnRH neurosecretion in awake animals. My research has also focused on the mechanisms by which ovarian steroids exert their effects in the brain, the latter including the negative feedback mechanisms that maintain homeostatic control within the reproductive axis, as well as the positive feedback actions of steroids that culminate in release of preovulatory gonadotropin surges. My recent work has made use of newly developed mutant mice to analyze the cell signaling mechanisms that mediate negative and positive feedback actions of estradiol.. ...

The average duration of proestrus in mature bitches is nine days, with a normal range of 0 to 27 days [4]. Proestrus is usually simply defined as that stage of the estrous cycle where noticeable signs of serosanguinous (thin, bloody) vaginal discharge begin. Varying degrees of bloody vaginal discharge are typically seen. The nature of the discharge is typically bright red and voluminous at the onset of proestrus and then becomes less voluminous towards the end. However, it should be noted there is great variation amongst bitches in regards to the amount and nature of their discharge. During proestrus, females are attractive to male dogs, but generally refuse matings. Pheromones, which are present in the females vaginal secretions, anal sac expressions, and urine are responsible for this attractiveness [5-8]. Sexual reflexes such as flagging of the tail (elevation of the tail away from the vulva and swaying of the hips from side to side) in response to touching the perineal region (area between ...

Molecular and intra-cellular mechanisms involved in the regulation of apoptosis processes in endometrial cells are poorly understood and documented. We have investigated the possibility that Akt survival pathway might be involved in the regulation of apoptosis in the uterus during the estrous cycle. Rats with regular estrous cycle (4 days) were killed at different days of estrous cycle (diestrus, proestrus, estrus and metestrus). Uteri were collected and fixed for immunohistochemical staining (IHC) and apoptotic cell death detection by [TdT]-mediated deoxyuridinetriphosphate nick end-labelling (TUNEL) or endometrial protein extracts collected for Western analysis. TUNEL analysis revealed that apoptosis was mainly found at estrus compared to other day of estrous cycle. TUNEL positive cells were apparent in luminal epithelial cells only. No apoptotic cells were observed at proestrus. In contrast, proliferation was maximal at proestrus as confirmed with the expression of CDC47/MCM7 (a cell proliferation

On the day of proestrus in the rat, rising plasma levels of estradiol (E) act in concert with progesterone (P) to trigger a preovulatory release of gonadotropins. Cellular levels of galanin mRNA in GnRH neurons are increased in association with the proestrous surge of gonadotropin secretion; however, the relative contribution made by E and P to the induction of galanin mRNA expression in GnRH neurons is unknown. We investigated the role of E and P in the induction of galanin gene expression in GnRH neurons by examining the effects of different combinations of E (estradiol benzoate; 50 micrograms and P (5 mg)) on the LH surge and the concomitant induction of galanin mRNA in GnRH neurons. We sacrificed ovariectomized adult rats after 1 of 4 treatments: Group 1: vehicle control (n = 6); Group 2: P alone (n = 7) Group 3: E alone (n = 7); Group 4: combined E/P (n = 6); the animals were killed at 18.00 h at the time of the LH surge. The brains from these animals were processed by double-label in situ ...

We examined 24p3 expression in the mouse uterus at various stages of the natural estrous cycle and during the preimplantation period. The level of 24p3 mRNA appeared intensively in proestrus and estrus, then declined sharply from metestrus to diestrus. Consistent with this observation, 24p3 protein was abundant in proestrus, decreased from estrus to metestrus and declined to a very low level in diestrus. The uterine 24p3 expression closely overlapped with the estradiol (E2) surge in proestrus and estrus but it was suppressed when progesterone (P4) rose to a high level during the reproductive cycle. Neither the protein nor its message was detected in the uteri of immature mice or ovariectomized adult animals. While an injection of P4 to these animals was unable to initiate uterine 24p3 expression, administration of estrogenic steroids to these animals markedly stimulated the gene expression. Treatment of these animals with E2 together with P4, on the other hand, did not stimulate the gene ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Peripubertal decline in ovarian LHRH receptor content. T2 - Characterization and distribution. AU - White, S. S.. AU - Ojeda, S. R.. N1 - Copyright: Copyright 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.. PY - 1983. Y1 - 1983. N2 - In the rat, ovarian LHRH receptor content, as measured by the binding of 125I-D-Ala6, Pro9-LHRH (A-LHRH) to ovarian membranes, decreases markedly during the days preceding the first preovulatory gonadotropin surge. The present study shows that the decrease in LHRH receptor number occurs exclusively in granulosa cells, and that the greatest rate of decline takes place between the juvenile period and the early proestrous phase of puberty. In contrast to granulosa cells, membranes prepared from ovarian tissues after removal of these cells demonstrated no significant change in LHRH binding capacity throughout puberty. Scatchard analysis of competition curves, constructed using membranes from whole ovaries, revealed that receptor affinity remains unchanged ...

The succession of vaginal and behavioral changes was followed throughout the estrous cycle of ten continuously cycling female rats. Interruption of cycles by pregnancy or pseudopregnancy was prevented by the use of the vaginal mask. The behavioral indices were Lordosis Quotient, a measure of sexual responsiveness, and Rejection Quotient, a measure of tolerance by the female of mounting by the male. Before the onset of lordosis, which took place during proestrus, females rejected males on many attempted mounts, although rejection decreased rapidly with rise in frequency of lordosis. Full receptivity was displayed for 6 to 9 hours, but females began to reject the males while still displaying high levels of lordosis. The total period of 19 hours over which lordosis is shown was divided into pre-heat, heat, and post-heat periods.

Maturation of the mammalian oocyte is characterized in part by dissolution of the nuclear envelope, or germinal vesicle breakdown (GVB). By fluorescence microscopy after vital uptake of acridine orange (AO), redistribution and perinuclear accumulation of organelles corresponding to lysosomes occur before GVB in rat oocytes undergoing meiotic maturation in vitro. In follicle-enclosed oocytes explanted during the preovulatory gonadotropin surge (GS) and individually cultured as such in chemically defined medium at approximately 22 degrees C, lysosomes aggregated into disperse clusters after 30 min; by 60 min, perinuclear concentration of lysosomes and their essential disappearance from the cortical ooplasm were observed. GVB occurred within 120 min. In contrast, follicle-enclosed oocytes explanted before the GS displayed a generally homogeneous distribution of lysosomes and intact GV for up to 5 h in culture. In oocytes aspirated from follicles before the GS, partially denuded of granulosa cells, ...

Rats typically have rapid cycle times of 4 to 5 days. Although they ovulate spontaneously, they do not develop a fully functioning corpus luteum unless they receive coital stimulation. Fertile mating leads to pregnancy in this way, but infertile mating leads to a state of pseudopregnancy which lasts about 10 days. Mice and hamsters have similar behaviour.[9] The events of the cycle are strongly influenced by lighting periodicity.[7] A set of follicles start to develop near the end of proestrus and grow at a nearly constant rate until the beginning of the subsequent estrus when the growth rates accelerate eightfold. They then ovulate about 109 hours after starting growth. Oestrogen peaks at about 11am on the day of proestrus. Between then and midnight there is a surge in progesterone, LH and FSH, and ovulation occurs at about 4am on the next, estrus day. The following day, metestrus, is called early diestrus or diestrus I by some authors. During this day the corpus lutea grow to a maximal volume, ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Relationship of age, sex, and reproductive status to the quantity of tyrosine hydroxylase in the median eminence and superior cervical ganglion of the rat. AU - Porter, J. C.. PY - 1986. Y1 - 1986. N2 - Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the median eminence (ME) and superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of the rat was quantified by means of an immunoblot procedure, using highly purified rat TH as the standard. Antibodies against rat TH were produced in the rabbit. The assay was linear from 0-100 ng TH and had a correlation coefficient of 0.990 ± 0.0014 (mean ± SE: n = 22). The interassay coefficient of variation was 8.65% (n = 17). In young female rats (12-16 weeks old) with regular 4-day estrous cycles, the quantity of TH in the ME on various days of the cycle was as follows: estrus, 42 ± 2.9 ng; diestrous day, 1, 61 ± 2.8 ng; diestrous day 2, 75 ± 4.2 ng; and proestrus, 84 ± 3.3 ng. In ovariectomized rats (15-16 weeks old), the ME contained 24 ± 1.6 ng TH. In prepubertal rats ...

The present study was conducted to measure the concentration of progesterone throughout gestation and parturition in control and treated bitches. Thirty anestrus bitches aged 3-6 years and weighting 19.5-26 kg were used in this study. The bitches were divided equally into three groups as follows: the 1st group as a control group without treatment, the 2nd group as a treated group anestrus bitches treated orally with 0.125 mg/kg BW bromocriptine (Parlodel) twice daily, and the 3rd group treated orally by 0.012 mg/kg BW cabergoline (Dostinex) until appearance of estrus signs. The results showed that the number of responded animals were in proestrus bleeding and became pregnant and new born 70%, 60% and 50% for control, bromocriptine, and cabergoline treated groups, respectively. In addition, there were no significant differences (P≤0.01) in progesterone concentration between the control and treated pregnant bitches. It can be concluded that both medicines bromocriptine and cabergoline have no ...

In this study, we demonstrate the importance of endogenous progesterone, its metabolites, and neural PRs, in cerebroprotection in young and aging mice of both sexes during the early acute phase after stroke. We chose females in diestrus, a stage lasting ,2 d of the 4 d reproductive cycle (Byers et al., 2012) because it was considered to be advisable to avoid short peak levels of ovarian progesterone and estradiol (Smith et al., 1975; Nilsson et al., 2015) in order to uncover a role of endogenous brain progesterone in female cerebroprotection. Only limited information is available concerning the influence of the estrus cycle on responses to cerebral ischemia, but one study reported that hypertensive female rats develop smaller cerebral infarcts during the short proestrus stage (Carswell et al., 2000).. The unexpected results of brain steroid profiling by GC-MS/MS lent further support to the notion that progesterone and its metabolites are important brain steroids in males. Whereas levels of ...

Edema of the uterine stroma adjacent to the endometrial epithelium can be seen normally in proestrus, particularly toward the end of the phase and in the beginning of estrus.

The average heat cycle for a dog is approximately 3 weeks and since this an an average, some heats are shorter (as little as 7-10 days), others are longer (4 weeks or more). Average times between heat periods is seven months but some dogs can cycle as early as every 4 months, some once a year. Lengths of heat cycles and intervals between cycles are different for each dog, but most dogs hit somewhere close to the averages.. The first part of heat you will notice bleeding from the vulva, swelling of the vulva, possible increase in urination and the most noticeable, male dogs hanging around the house. During this period (proestrus), females will not allow the males to breed with them although the males will be very persistent. The second part or estrus is the time in which the female will allow the male to breed her and this can last anywhere from 4-21 days. A female, most of the time, will allow most any male to breed during this time. As the female starts to go out of heat or enter diestrus, she ...

The result obtained from the acute toxicity studies showed a reasonable safety profile of the extract up to the dose of 2000 mg/kg after a 24 h test. Preclinical toxicity testing is one of the basic screening required to generate important information about potential damage of agents or new compounds to humans and is of utmost importance in drug development processes (Parasuraman 2011; David and Enegide, 2013). The US Food and Drug Administration states that the screening of new molecules for pharmacological activity and toxicity on animals is essential as this reveals similar incidence of occurrence and severity in humans (United States Code Sections, Statutes at Large, Public Laws, and Presidential Documents, Code 1992).. The study of the effect of EM on the reproductive cycle revealed that high dose of EM prolonged the estrus cycle by prolonged or persistent estrus phase in mice. During normal estrus cycle of mice, increase in estrogen level coincides with proestrus phase and results in ...

The studies of CYP1A2 expression are mainly focused on the liver to understand its role with respect to biotransformation and metabolism of exogenous substances and endogenous hormones (Mikhailova et al., 2006; Sugiyama et al., 2019). In the recent days, CYP1A2 expression in the other tissues including the pancreas, lung and ovary has been investigated (Vukovic et al., 2016; Hwang et al., 2020). Especially, there have been several articles identified that the expression of CYP family in the ovary is affected by several internal or external factors. The expression of ovarian CYP1B1 was increased under estrogen treatment (Symonds et al., 2006) or during evening of proestrus than other estrus cycles for metabolism of serum estradiol (Dasmahapatra et al., 2002). In addition, the expressions of CYP2E1, CYP2A and CYP2B were dependent on the follicle size of the ovary (Cannady et al., 2003). Furthermore, the ovarian CYP1A1 was increasingly expressed after treatment of 3MC and dexamethasone in the pig ...
