This study investigated whether activin A and an inhibin-a subunit fragment (INHα) could permeate in a periovarian vascular complex from ovarian effluent into the ovarian artery and be retrograde transferred into the ovary. Radiolabelled activin A (125I-activin A) and INHα (125I-INHα) were injected (2.7xl07 dpm) into follicles or corpora lutea (CL). It was demonstrated that 125I-activin A and 125I-INHa were released into the ovarian effluent and permeated into the arterial blood supplying the ovary in both phases of the cycle. The concentration of 125I-activin A in ovarian arterial blood was higher in the luteal phase (LP) than in the follicular phase (FP) (P<0.0001) in contrast to 125I-INHα which was higher in the FP (P<0.0001). The concentration of 125I-activin A in uterine tissues generally did not differ between the phases of the estrous cycle, but the concentration of 125I-INHα was higher (P<0.05) in the FP than in the LP. The concentration of 125I-activin A was higher in the LP in samples of endometrium and myometrium (P<0.05), as well as mesometrium (P<0.01), and higher in the FP in samples of mesometrium (P<0.05) close to the ovary than in the samples adjoining the uterine body. In the FP, the concentration of 125I-INHa was higher in endometrium and mesometrium close to the ovary than in samples adjoining the uterine body (P<0.05). In conclusion, the study demonstrated that it was possible for INHa and activin A to be retrograde transferred to the ovary. Thus this transfer could elevate their concentration in arterial blood supplied to the ovarian follicles or CL and may influence production of these peptides in the ovary, modulating ovarian function.
Leptin is a 16-kDa protein hormone encoded by the obese (ob) gene and acts on receptors in the hypothalamus to regulate food intake and energy balance. The identification of leptin and its receptor mRNAs and proteins in human and mouse endometrium and placental trophoblast has attracted attention to the potential role of leptin in implantation. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the expression levels of porcine leptin mRNA and protein in endometrium and myometrium during mid- and late-luteal phases of the oestrous cycle (days 10 - 12 and 14 - 16) as well as during two stages of pregnancy respondent to the beginning (days 14 - 16) and the end (days 30 - 32) of the implantation process, and in trophoblast during both periods of pregnancy. Leptin gene and protein expression in myometrium, and leptin mRNA expression in endometrium was more pronounced in the mid- and late-luteal phases of the cycle in comparison to studied periods of pregnancy, whereas leptin protein concentration in endometrium was either enhanced on days 30 - 32 of pregnancy in relation to days 14 - 16 of the cycle or there were no changes between pregnancy and luteal phase of the cycle. On days 30 - 32 of pregnancy, expression of the leptin gene in the endometrium, and of the leptin gene and protein in the myometrium was more pronounced in comparison to the earlier stage of pregnancy. Moreover, leptin gene expression in porcine trophoblast increased during the beginning of the implantation process compared to days 30 - 32 of pregnancy, while the protein concentration decreased on days 14 - 16 of pregnancy. In conclusion, the finding of leptin gene and protein expression in porcine endometrium, myometrium and trophoblast indicates that locally synthesised leptin can participate in the control of pig reproduction. The fluctuation of the hormone concentration during pregnancy and changes in its level between pregnancy and the oestrous cycle may indicate leptin's involvement in the implantation process.
