Roles of histamine and prostaglandins in the induction of ovarian cysts after unilateral ovarian manipulation (MAN) and in the process of ovulation were evaluated in prepubertal gilts treated with pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Administration of pyrilamine maleate, an H1 receptor antagonist, before MAN or hCG injection reduced the number of cysts formed but did not alter ovulation rate. Administration of cimetidine, an H2 receptor antagonist, failed to alter the incidence, number, or diameters of cysts formed in response to MAN or the ovulation rate on non-MAN ovaries. Administration of indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, before MAN or hCG injection did not alter the incidence, number, or diameters of cysts formed on MAN ovaries but reduced the number of corpora lutea on non-MAN ovaries. Excessive accumulation of fluid in ovarian cysts apparently was mediated by histamine interacting with the H1-type receptor. Enhanced secretion of prostaglandins produced by the cyclooxygenase pathway did not contribute to development of ovarian cysts but, unlike histamine, was required for formation of corpora lutea in prepubertal gilts treated with PMSG and hCG.
