Bilateral perifusion devices were utilized to measure prostaglandin F-2 alpha (PGF) secretion by bovine endometrium in response to in-vitro heat stress. Tissues were collected at Day 17 after oestrus from cyclic (N = 4) and pregnant (N = 5) cows, placed into 3 perifusion devices, perifused (3 ml/10 min, Krebs-Ringer-bicarbonate [KRB]) for 5 h, and fractions were collected every 10 min. Endometrial tissues within each device were subjected to a different temperature and oxytocin (1 i.u./ml KRB) treatment sequence: (1) control-oxytocin: 1 h at 39 degrees C; 2 h at 39 degrees C, 0.5 h at 39 degrees C with oxytocin, 0.5 h at 39 degrees C and 1 h at 39 degrees C; (2) heat-oxytocin: 1 h at 39 degrees C, 2 h at 42 degrees C, 0.5 h at 42 degrees C with oxytocin, 0.5 h at 42 degrees C and 1 h at 39 degrees C; (3) heat-KRB: 1 h at 39 degrees C, 2 h at 42 degrees C, 0.5 h at 42 degrees C, 0.5 h at 42 degrees C and 1 h at 39 degrees C. Regardless of reproductive status, heat stress induced a rapid increase (P less than 0.01) in PGF secretion rates. Oxytocin induced an increase (P less than 0.01) in PGF secretion for endometrium from cyclic cows regardless of temperature. Endometria from pregnant cows did not respond to oxytocin when perifused at 39 degrees C. However, PGF secretion rates from endometrium of pregnant cows increased (P less than 0.01) in response to oxytocin when perifused under heat stress conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
