1 Lecture 11: The Luteal Phase of the Estrous and Menstrual Cycle
Animal Science 434 Lecture 11: The Luteal Phase of the Estrous and Menstrual Cycle

2 Ovulation Ovulation Luteal Phase Follicular Phase P4 Production
CL Formation (Metestrus) Follicular Phase Relative Progesterone Levels (Blood) P4 Production (Diestrus) Luteolysis

3 steroid synthesis progesterone collagenase theca interna

4 present 1-3 days following ovulation
blood vessels in follicle wall rupture walls collapse cells intermix old basement membrane becomes connective tissue of CL

5 increases in size papilla forms composed of cells from the granulosa and theca interna progesterone production increases a small cavity may be present where the folliclular antrum was present

6 Luteal Tissue Large cells from granulosa
Small cells from the theca interna

7

8 Mitochondria Secretory Granules - Oxytocin - Relaxin

9 Functional Capability of CL
the number of luteal cells large cells undergo hypertrophy (3 fold) small cells undergo hyperplasia (5 fold) vascularization of CL Initiated by angiogenic factors from follicle Vascularity effects CL steroid synthesis and delivery of hormones Insufficient CL function Failure to maintain pregnancy Important in domestic animals

10 Progesterone Targets Blocks Estrus Negative Feedback
Aveolar Development

11 Molecular Mechanism of LH on Luteal Cell (cAMP second messenger)
Progesterone LH G Receptor Plasma Membrane Adenylate Cyclase cAMP PKA ATP cAMP R S-ER Steroid Synthesis C (+ PO4) Mitochondria Pregnenolone Cholesterol Nucleus DNA Histones Cholesterol mRNA R-ER Protein Synthesis Protein Synthesis (Enzymes)

12 Molecular Mechanism of LH on Luteal Cell (cAMP second messenger)

13 Luteolysis Uterus PGF2a Oxytocin

14 Luteolysis in Cows, Ewes, Sows
Normal Uterus Total Hysterectomy CL CL Lifespan Longer CL Normal Lifespan Similar to Gestation Length Contralateral Hysterectomy Ipsilateral Hysterectomy CL Lifespan Longer CL Normal Lifespan >35 days

15 Luteolysis Uterus PGF2a Oxytocin

16 Prostaglandin F2a Control of Luteolysis
Uterine Horn Progesterone from CL stimulates production of uterine PGF2a after day 15 in cow Prostaglandin synthesis by uterine endometrium is released into the uterine vein. Corpus Luteum Oviduct Ovary Uterine Vein Ovarian Pedicle PGF PGF2a is picked up by ovarian artery through counter current exchange and delivered back to the ovary where it causes lysis of the CL PGF into Artery Uterine Artery

17 Contralateral Hysterectomy Ipsilateral Hysterectomy
Normal Uterus Total Hysterectomy CL CL Normal Lifespan CL Maintained Luteolysis Mare Contralateral Hysterectomy Ipsilateral Hysterectomy 50% of CL’s Maintained 50% of CL’s Maintained

18 Blood Supply to Uterus and Ovary in the Mare

19 PGF Not Effective (Sow)

28 Anterior Pituitary Hormones

29 Luteolysis in the Primate
Does not require the uterus CL lifespan in the human is days unless pregnancy occurs In the absence of pregnancy, CL self destructs Possible intra-ovarian oxytocin receptors and PGF2a production Menstruation Drop in P4 and E2 Endometrial PGF2a, vasoconstriction, necrosis Endometrial inflammation and tissue degeneration

30 Manipulating Ovulation
Hormonal induction of ovulation PGF2a GnRH Progestins Superovulation FSH eCG

31 Principle of PGF2a Use Regress active corpus luteum
Only effective on a day CL Not effective on days: 1 - 4 (CL not responsive) (CL already regressed)

32 Induction of Ovulation with PGF2a
Progesterone Dominance Recruitment Selection Ovulation Follicular Size Ovulation 9 16 21 Day After Ovulation

41 Induction of Ovulation with PGF2a

42 Eliminate current follicular wave
Ovsynch GnRH PGF2 GnRH hours Timed AI 7 Days hours Eliminate current follicular wave Luteolysis Ovulates dominant follicle

43 Use of Progestogens Principle:
Maintain the cow under the influence of progesterone until corpus luteum regresses, remove progesterone - animal respond to progesterone with estrus and ovulation 2-5 days later. Administration: Injection Feed Implant Pessary or Control Internal Drug Release (CIDR) This does not regress the CL!!!!

44 Progestens Effect on Ovulation
