Abstract
Long chain fatty acids were known to interfere with the binding between rat uterine estrogen receptors and estradiol. The effect of long chain fatty acids on the binding between rat progesterone receptors and 3H-R5020 was studied. The binding was inhibited by palmitic acid, palmitooleic acid, arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. Docosahexaenoic acid was the strongest inhibitor and palmitic acid was the weakest inhibitor. The inhibitory effect of palmitic acid and arachidonic acid was dose dependent. In rat uterine cytosols, there existed an arachidonic acid binding factor which was distinct from progesterone receptor. The inhibitory mechanisms of long chain fatty acids was not clear, but the inhibitory effect was stronger if the number of carbon atoms increased with the number of double bonds.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
