Abstract

Pregnant rats were treated at various stages of gestation with prostaglandin analogue, cloprostenol alone or concomitant with HCG to study effects on termination of gestation and plasma estrogen and progesterone. Cloprostenol (90 or 180 mg/kg) was administered alone on 1~3, 4~6, 7~9, 9~11 or 11~13 consecutive days of gestation twice a day and in combination with HCG (50 or 100 IU/day) on days of 1~3 or 7~9 once a day. Rats were autopsied on day 21 of gestation or at 6, 12 or 24 hours after treatment on day 6 or 9, respectively. Cloprostenol was found to be nearly 100% effective in preventing implantation, destroying viable fetuses and causing preimplantation losses, but in early gestation, on days 1-3, there was little effect. And when cloprostenol administered concomitant with HCG, corpora lutea were significantly increased, implantation sites and viable fetuses significantly decreased, and pre-and post-implantation losses significantly increased in most cases. Plasma concentrations of estradiol and progesterone were significantly decreased by administering cloprostenol, and estradiol concentration significantly decreased but progesterone significantly increased by administering of cloprostenol concomitant with HCG. It is suggested that cloprostenol was more effective in terminating pregnancy than a combination of cloprostenol and HCG in the rat.
