Preovulatory bovine follicles (n = 28) were collected at different times after the onset of standing oestrus until shortly before ovulation. In-vitro conversion of tritiated androstenedione in the presence of NADPH by homogenates of the follicular wall was compared in phases relative to the LH peak. During phase 0 (before the LH surge) conversion into oestradiol-17 beta was high and production of oestrone was about 8-fold lower. During phases 1 (0-6 h after the LH peak) and 2A (6-14 h after the LH peak) the production of oestradiol and oestrone remained constant; the percentage of remaining androstenedione increased. In phase 2B (14-20 h after the LH peak) conversion into oestradiol and oestrone had decreased to about one third correlating with a higher percentage of remaining androstenedione. In phase 3 (20 h after the LH peak until ovulation) conversion into oestradiol and oestrone remained constant. The ratio between the production of oestrone and oestradiol remained constant throughout the phases of preovulatory development (0.13), indicating a concurrent inhibition of aromatase and 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities. Conversion into 19-hydroxyandrostenedione showed a pattern similar to that of oestradiol, and testosterone was produced in minute quantities. The results indicate that in preovulatory bovine follicles eventual inhibition of aromatization takes place at about 14 h after the preovulatory LH peak.
