Objective: To investigate the participation of catecholamines in the association between peripheral innervation and luteal steroidogenesis. Design: Animal study. Setting: University animal laboratory. Animal(s): Six to eight virgin adult Holtzman-strain female rats in control and experimental groups on diestrus days 1 and 2. Intervention(s): Removal of the coeliac ganglion-superior ovarian nerve-ovary system, with catecholaminergic agonist or antagonist added in the ganglion compartment (experimental group only). The control group received no treatment. Main Outcome Measure(s): Ovarian neurotransmitters and their catabolites measured by reverse-phase highpressure liquid chromatography, and A2 measured by radioimmunoassay. Result(s): On day ...
