The plasminogen activator/plasmin synthetic substrate S-2251 was used to measure the effect of indomethacin, cycloheximide, colchicine, dexamethasone, tranexamic acid, and aprotinin on the elevation of ovarian plasminogen activator (PA) that normally occurs during ovulation in the rat. Young Wistar rats were weaned on the morning of Day 21, given 4.0 IU of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) s.c. at 0800 h on Day 22, and given 10.0 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on Day 24. These animals normally began ovulating between 0000 and 0200 h on Day 25. The induced ovulation rate was 11.5 +/- 2.2 ova/rat, based on the number of ova in the oviducts of control animals at 0900 h on Day 25. In the controls, PA activity in extracts of homogenized ovaries increased 3-fold from 0.125 +/- 0.010 OD units just before the administration of hCG to 0.371 +/- 0.021 at 12 h after hCG, i.e., near the time of ovulation. Indomethacin, in doses of 0.1-1.0 mg/rat, inhibited ovulation but did not inhibit the normal increase in PA activity, whereas indomethacin at the high dose of 10.0 mg/rat inhibited both ovulation and PA activity. Cycloheximide, at a dose of 0.1 mg/rat, was given at 12 h before hCG, immediately after hCG, and at 9 h after hCG. This agent inhibited ovulation most effectively when given at 12 h before hCG, yet it inhibited PA activity most effectively when given immediately after or at 9 h after hCG. Colchicine, at a dose of 0.1 mg/rat, inhibited ovulation, but not PA activity, when it was given 1 h before hCG.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
