Effects of 17β-Estradiol on Distribution of Pituitary Isoforms of Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone during the Follicular Phase of the Bovine Estrous Cycle1

Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the influence of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) on distribution of LH and FSH isoforms during the follicular phase of the bovine estrous cycle prior to the preovulatory surges of LH and FSH. On Day 16 of the estrous cycle (Day 0 = estrus), intact controls (CONT; n = 4) were treated with prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) to induce luteal regression and initiation of the follicular phase. Other cows were also treated with PGF2 alpha and either ovariectomized (OVX; n = 5) or o… Show more

“…Similar distribution patterns have been reported in ovine species (42) , and in the elution patterns of ovine (46) and bovine hypophysis extracts (11,47) . It can therefore be assumed that the procedure developed here to isolate isoform groups from bovine LH does not interfere in the isoform distribution patterns of bovine LH.…”

“…To date, the neutral isoform in LH from ruminants and other species has not been immunologically or biologically characterized, possibly because it is difficult to purify and characterize due to its low content in the adenohypophysis (13,40,41) and the blood (6) . The bioactivity recorded in the neutral isoform in the present study is a valuable addition to biological evaluation of the bovine LH isoform spectrum.…”

“…Anobile et al [100] also observed an association between increased estradiol and basic FSH isoforms during the menstrual cycle and concluded that changes in gonadotropin isoforms through the human menstrual cycle are related to changes in the prevailing steroid environment. In contrast, Kojima et al [101] reported no change in FSH isoform distribution in the pituitary during the follicular phase of the estrous cycle in heifers. In agreement with this, Cooke et al [102] also reported no changes in circulatory FSH isoforms during the first or second follicular waves in beef heifers, however, did identify greater amounts of less acidic FSH isoforms during the preovulatory gonadotropin surge which was also associated with increased estradiol concentrations.…”
