“…Both oestradiol and oestrone sulphate showed a doubling in concentration 24 h before delivery which is in agreement with the findings of others (sheep: Challis, 1971; Robertson & Smeaton, 1973;Tsang, 1978;Rawlings & Ward, 1978a;goat: Challis & Linzell, 1971;Rawlings & Ward, 1978b;Thorburn et ai, 1972).…”

“…Th is fi nding is consistent with a decrease in maternal plasma P 4 , being of primary importance in the induction of parturition in goats (17). Th e FP 4 drop found in our study resembles those shown in the plasma P 4 profi le (18) and serum and FP 4 (10), while Khanum et al reported a plasma P 4 decrease beginning 19 days prepartum (19) and Khan and Ludri reported the decrease beginning at around 20 days before, with an abrupt drop 1 day prepartum (17). Our results are in agreement with studies reporting that plasma P 4 concentrations remain slightly elevated at the onset of parturition and then decline toward anestrous levels following delivery in the goat (20).…”

“…In normally cycling Shiba goats, the concentrations of E 2 -17β at estrus [ 14 , 15 , 17 ] were reported to be approximately 20–30 pg/ml. In pregnant goats approaching parturition, it was reported that the concentration of E 2 -17β in maternal circulation reaches maximally 10-fold as much as that at estrus, while estrone and estradiol-17α become 10- to 15-fold higher than E 2 -17β [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Studies in sheep [ 35 ], humans [ 36 , 37 ] and rats [ 36 ] suggested that estrone and estradiol-17α have about 20–60% binding affinities to estrogen receptors relative to E 2 -17β.…”
