초록

본 연구는 임신 및 분만후 rat에 oxytocin을 투여후 혈장, 자궁 및 태반 조직에서 estradiol-17$\beta$, progesterone, prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ 및 prostaglandin E$_2$그리고 자궁 조직의 oxytocin 수용체의 함량 사이의 관계에 대하여 조사하였다. 임신 rat에 oxytocin 투여 후 혈장 estradiol-17$\beta$의 농도는 임신 말기에 서서히 증가하여 임신 22일에 최고를 기록하였고 분만 후 1일에는 임신 16일 수준으로 감소하였다. Progesterone 농도는 임신 18일부터 분만 후 1일에 유의성 있는(p<0.05) 감소를 보였다. Prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ 및 Prostaglandin E$_2$농도는 임신 14일에서 임신 22일에 공히 상승하여 임신 22일에 최고를 기록하였고 분만 후 1일에는 급격히 감소하였다. Estradiol-17$\beta$의 농도는 자궁 조직에서 임신 14일에서 20일까지 서서히 증가하다가 임신 22일에 급격한 증가를 기록하였고 분만 후 1일에는 급격히 감소하여 임신 14일 수준을 유지하였으며 progesterone 농도는 임신 16일에 상승을 보인 후 임신 20일까지 급격히 감소하였고 분만 후 1일까지 같은 수준을 유지하였다. Prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ 및 prostaglandin E$_2$농도는 자궁조직에서 임신 말기 전기간에 상승하여 임신 22일에 최고를 기록한 후 분만 후 1일에는 급격히 감소하여 임신 14일과 비교하여 70% 수준을 기록하였다. Prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ 농도는 태반 조직에서 임신 14일에서 임신 22일까지 지속적으로 증가하였고 분만 후 1일에는 급격히 감소하였으며 prostaglandin E$_2$의 농도는 임신 14일에서 20일에 증가한 후 분만 후 1일까지 감소하였다. Oxytocin 수용체의 농도는 자궁 조직에서 임신 20일에서 임신 22일 사이에 급격히 증가한 후 분만 후 1일까지 비슷한 수준을 기록하였다. 이상에서와 oxytocin투여에 의한 임신 rat에 있어서 progesterone 농도의 감소에 이은 estradiol-17 $\beta$, prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$, prostaglandin E$_2$및 oxytocin 수용체 농도의 증가는 조기에 시작되었다.

The present studies were carried out to examine the effects of exogenous oxytocin(OT) on plasma, uterine and placenta of estradiol-17$\beta$, progesterone, prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ (PGF$_2$$_{\alpha}$), Prostaglandin E$_2$(PGE$_2$) and OT receptor concentrations in pregnant rats. Pregnant rats received an injection of exogenous OT on days 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 of pregnancy and day 1 of postpartum. Concentrations of plasma estradiol-17 $\beta$ after OT injection started to increase after day 18 and peaked on day 22 of pregnancy but decreased on day 1 of postpartum. Plasma progesterone concentrations declined gradually from day 18 of pregnancy and decreased more rapidly until postpartum 1 day. Concentrations of estradiol-17$\beta$in uterine tissues after OT injection were sharply increased from day 20 to 22 of pregnancy and progestrone concentrations were peaked on day 16 and decreased rapidly from day 16 to 20 and maintained the same level until day 1 of postpartum. Uterine concentrations of PGF$_2$$_{\alpha}$ and PGE$_2$increased gradually until day 20 and peaked on day 22 of pregnancy but showed a marked decrease on day 1 of postpartum. Concentrations of PGF$_2$$_{\alpha}$ in placental tissues increased rapidly from day 14 of pregnancy and decreased sharply on day 1 of postpartum. Concentrations of PGE$_2$increased gradually after day 14 and peaked on day 20 of pregnancy. The concentration of OT receptor in uterus was significantly elevated from day 20 and rose to maximum on day 22 of pregnancy. These findings show that OT suppress the concentration of progestrone and stimulate productions of estradiol-17 $\beta$, PGF$_2$$_{\alpha}$, PGE$_2$ and oxytocin receptor concentrations in pregnant rats.
