Two peaks of aromatase activities were detected in bovine cotyledons, 2.76 +/- 0.96 pmol min-1 mg-1 protein at month five of gestation and 3.62 +/- 0.78 pmol min-1 mg-1 protein immediately after parturition, but aromatase activity in caruncles was very low throughout gestation. Oestrone concentrations in the cotyledons and caruncles were 0.93 +/- 0.50 and 1.51 +/- 0.69 ng mg-1 protein at month five of gestation, but 4.31 +/- 1.66 and 3.36 +/- 0.98 ng mg-1 protein immediately after parturition, indicating a biphasic pattern. Our findings suggest that oestrogen synthesis in the bovine placenta increased to a maximum at least twice during the period from gestation to parturition; at month five of gestation and at parturition the changes in aromatase activity may only be partially explained by changes in oestrogen production.
在牛的子叶中检测到两个芳香化酶活性高峰,妊娠第5个月时为2.76±0.96皮摩尔·分钟⁻¹·毫克⁻¹蛋白质,分娩后立即为3.62±0.78皮摩尔·分钟⁻¹·毫克⁻¹蛋白质,但在整个妊娠期,肉阜中的芳香化酶活性都非常低。妊娠第5个月时,子叶和肉阜中的雌酮浓度分别为0.93±0.50和1.51±0.69纳克·毫克⁻¹蛋白质,但分娩后立即分别为4.31±1.66和3.36±0.98纳克·毫克⁻¹蛋白质,呈现出双相模式。我们的研究结果表明,从妊娠到分娩期间,牛胎盘的雌激素合成至少在两个阶段增加到最大值;在妊娠第5个月和分娩时,芳香化酶活性的变化可能仅部分由雌激素产生的变化来解释。
