Abstract
Effects of 17 .beta.-estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, luteinizing hormone and a combined effect of estradiol and progesterone on the epithelial cells of the bovine oviduct cultured in vitro were investigated. These cells may transform under the effect of hormones. The effect of the applied hormones on the amount of lipid and .DELTA.5 3.beta.-OH-SDH [.DELTA.5 3.beta.-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase] and G6P-DH [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase] activities were evident. Cells in vitro most intensely reacted on testosterone and estradiol: these hormones increased lipids and enzymatic activity. Progesterone and luteinizing hormone decreased activity and accumulation of lipids in cells.
