Intraovarian distribution and density of nerve fibres immunoreactive (IR) to protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) and containing dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DβH), neuropeptide Y (NPY), somatostatin (SOM), galanin (GAL) were determined.
From day 4 of the first oestrous cycle to day 20 of the second studied cycle, experimental gilts (n = 3) were injected with testosterone (T), while control gilts (n = 3) received corn oil.
After T administration the numbers of fibres IR to PGP 9.5 and fibres IR to DβH, NPY and SOM were decreased. Fewer PGP 9.5- and DβH-IR terminals were observed within the ground plexus and around arteries and medullar veins, and medium tertiary follicles, and DβH-IR terminals in the vicinity of small tertiary follicles. T decreased the density of NPY-IR fibres in the medullar part of the ground plexus, and SOM-IR in the cortical part of the ground plexus.
The obtained data show that long-term T treatment of gilts decreases the total number of intraovarian fibres, including sympathetic ones. These results suggest that elevated T levels that occur during pathological states may affect the innervation pattern of ovaries, and their function(s).
测定了卵巢内对蛋白基因产物9.5(PGP 9.5)免疫反应(IR)以及含有多巴胺-β-羟化酶(DβH)、神经肽Y(NPY)、生长抑素(SOM)、甘丙肽(GAL)的神经纤维的分布和密度。
从第一个发情周期的第4天到第二个研究周期的第20天,给实验小母猪(n = 3)注射睾酮(T),而对照小母猪(n = 3)注射玉米油。
给予T后,对PGP 9.5免疫反应的纤维数量以及对DβH、NPY和SOM免疫反应的纤维数量减少。在基层神经丛内、动脉和髓质静脉周围以及中等三级卵泡内观察到的PGP 9.5和DβH免疫反应终末较少,在小三级卵泡附近的DβH免疫反应终末也较少。T降低了基层神经丛髓质部分NPY免疫反应纤维的密度以及基层神经丛皮质部分SOM免疫反应纤维的密度。
获得的数据表明,长期用T处理小母猪会减少卵巢内纤维的总数,包括交感神经纤维。这些结果表明,病理状态下升高的T水平可能会影响卵巢的神经支配模式及其功能。
