| Abstract: | Background Although the control of ovarian production of steroid hormones is mainly of endocrine nature, there is increasing evidence
that the nervous system also influences ovarian steroidogenic output. The purpose of this work was to study whether the celiac
ganglion modulates, via the superior ovarian nerve, the anti-steroidogenic effect of LH in the rat ovary. Using mid- and late-pregnant
rats, we set up to study: 1) the influence of the noradrenergic stimulation of the celiac ganglion on the ovarian production
of the luteotropic hormone androstenedione; 2) the modulatory effect of noradrenaline at the celiac ganglion on the anti-steroidogenic
effect of LH in the ovary; and 3) the involvement of catecholaminergic neurotransmitters released in the ovary upon the combination
of noradrenergic stimulation of the celiac ganglion and LH treatment of the ovary. |
