In vivo production of steroids with central depressant actions by the ovary of the rat

Summary 1 In addition to progesterone and 20‐dihydroprogesterone, the following unconjugated steroids were isolated from ovarian tissue and ovarian venous blood of mature, non‐pregnant rats: pregnenolone, 3βOH‐5α‐pregnan‐20‐one, 3αOH‐5α‐pregnan‐20‐one, 20αOH‐5α‐pregnan‐3‐one and 5α‐pregnane‐3α, 20α‐...

description Summary 1 In addition to progesterone and 20‐dihydroprogesterone, the following unconjugated steroids were isolated from ovarian tissue and ovarian venous blood of mature, non‐pregnant rats: pregnenolone, 3βOH‐5α‐pregnan‐20‐one, 3αOH‐5α‐pregnan‐20‐one, 20αOH‐5α‐pregnan‐3‐one and 5α‐pregnane‐3α, 20α‐diol. 2 Their concentration in the ovarian tissue and their secretion rates into the ovarian venous blood was of the same order of magnitude as that of progesterone. 3 In the evening of the day of pro‐oestrus significant increases in the ovarian contents of the following steroids were observed: progesterone,+ 140%; 3αOH‐5α‐pregnan‐20‐one, +320%; 20αOH‐5α‐pregnan‐3‐one, +195%; sum of pregnenolone and 3βOH‐5α‐pregnan‐20‐one, +275%. 4 At the same time the ovarian progesterone secretion rate was increased by 365%, that of 3αOH‐5α‐pregnan‐20‐one by 190%. 5 A possible physiological role of the ovarian allopregnane derivatives as central depressant agents is discussed.
