Abstract |
The changes of the plasma progestin concentations in normal pregnancy and artificially maintained pregnancy of the rabbits by hormonal replace therapy after induced ovulation and insemination on Day 1, followed by ovariectomy on Day 2, were checked by direct measurement, competitive protein-binding assay, from the time of mating through to parturition. The results obstained in this experiment can be summarized as follows: (i) The mean concentration of progestin in normally pregnant rabbits increased from $1.7{\sim}2.7$ ng/ml on Day 1 to $19.8{\sim}25.3$ ng/ml on Days $13{\sim}15$ and declined slowly thereafter until term. (ii) The progesterone levels in artificially maintained pregnancy by hormonal replacement therapy showed quite a similar pattern to that in normally pregnant rabbits. |
