Disparate Effects of Prostaglandins on Basal and Gonadotropin-Stimulated Progesterone Production by Luteal Cells Isolated from Rhesus Monkeys during the Menstrual Cycle and Pregnancy

To examine the direct effects of prostaglandins (PG) on corpus luteum function in primates, luteal cells isolated from rhesus monkeys were incubated in the presence of PGE 2 or PGF 2α , either alone, or in combination with gonadotropin (hCG) or dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Luteal cells were obtained at Da...
