Abstract

Immunoreactive 10.5 KDa moiety of inhibin and hFSH was present in the baboon endometrium during menstrual cycle, early pregnancy and in castrated animals treated with steroid hormones, estrogen and/or progesterone. Endometrial differences during the menstrual cycle altered the intensity of immunostaining of inhibin and FSH. Maximum staining was observed in late luteal phase for both the hormones. In early pregnancy (35th day), the conceptus increased the staining for inhibin in the adjoining endometrial glands. Treatment of castrated animals with steroids for 14 days caused increased staining for inhibin. Maximum staining was observed when treated with estradiol or progesterone, whereas combination of estrogen and progesterone treatment decreased the staining reaction. In conclusion, both inhibin and FSH were localized in baboon endometrium and were under the influence of estrogen and progesterone.
