Ovariectomized ewes were treated with progesterone and oestradiol to induce oestrus (day of expected oestrus = day 0) and with progesterone on days 1 to 12. The concentrations of endometrial oxytocin receptors and the 13,14-dihydro-15-keto prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM) response induced by oxytocin were measured on days 12, 14, 16 and 18 after the cessation of progesterone treatment on day 12, by a receptor binding assay and direct radioimmunoassay, respectively. During the period of treatment, the concentrations of plasma progesterone were high and remained above 2 ng ml-1 until day 13 when they dropped rapidly to less than 0.5 ng ml-1 by day 14. The concentrations of oxytocin receptors in endometrium of control ewes were high (820.7 +/- 91.7 (SEM) fmol mg-1 protein). Treatment with progesterone significantly (P &lt; 0.01) reduced the concentrations of the receptors on days 12 and 14 (144.1 +/- 65.0 and 200.4 +/- 45.4 fmol mg-1 protein, respectively). The receptor concentrations then increased to relatively high values on day 16 (1021.4 +/- 216.6 fmol mg-1 protein) and remained high until day 18 (677.7 +/- 103.4 fmol mg-1 protein).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
