In order to clarify periodic changes in the localization of enzymes engaged in estrogen biosynthesis during the estrous cycle, immunohistochemical and fine structural studies were performed using estrous cycling and pregnant hamster ovaries. Results showed that ovulation takes place at midnight between Day 4 and Day 1 in the regular 4 day-cycle hamster. Immunoreactivity for aromatase is localized in the granulosa cells of the secondary follicle and granulosa lutein cells during the morning (10:00 am) of Day 1 to the evening (5:00 pm) of Day 4; in the night (9:00 pm) of Day 4, only the granulosa cells of the Graafian follicle showed a strong immunoreaction. As for 17 alpha-lyase, theca interna cells of the secondary follicle are immunopositive throughout Day 2 to the morning (10:00 am) of Day 4. Only a few cells in the theca interna of the Graafian follicles are immunopositive in the evening (5:00 pm) of Day 4. No positive cells for this enzyme were detected in the night (9:00 pm) of Day 4 or morning (10:00 am) of Day 1. The rapid decrease of estrogen biosynthesis occurring just before ovulation is considered to be due to the disappearance of 17 alpha-lyase in the theca interna cells of the ovary. On Day 10 of pregnancy, the granulosa cells of the secondary follicles and both the granulosa and theca lutein cells of the corpora lutea are immunostained with the aromatase antibody, while the theca interna cells of the secondary follicles reacted positively to the 17 alpha-lyase antibody. Only the granulosa and theca interna cells from the large preovulatory Graafian follicle of Day 4 (proestrus) which are positively stained for aromatase as well as 17 alpha-lyase show ultrastructural features typical of steroid secretory cells.
