Uterine Prostaglandin F2α Content and 20α-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Activity of Individual Ovarian Compartments During Pseudopregnancy in the Rat

Abstract
To investigate relationships between prostaglandin F (PGF) and ovarian 20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20α-OH SDH), uterine PGF content and ovarian 20α-OH SDH activity were measured during pseudopregnancy in the rat. Quantitative cytochemical techniques were employed to assess 20α-OH SDH activity in individual compartments of the rat ovary.
