“…Beta-amino acids (Hamner, 1971; and serum albumin (Hamner, 1971; Stanke, Sikes, DeYoung & Tumbleson, 1974) are present in the oviducal fluid of several mammals and oviducal tissue contains catecholamines (Bodkhe & Harper, 1972). These factors may also be endogenous promoters of fertilization since they are manipulation.…”

“…The similar excitatory activity of the uterovaginal junction and the vagina observed in the present studies could also explain the uninterrupted passage of the egg through these segments at the time of oviposition. The regulation of ovum transport by adrenergic neurones has been reported for the rabbit (Brundin, 1969), in which doses of oestrogen or progesterone that retard or accelerate ovum transport were also found to alter the tissue content of noradrenaline (Bodkhe & Harper, 1972). The nor¬ adrenaline content of the avian oviduct is increased significantly during the active laying period and falls to a low level when the oviduct becomes inactive during the non-laying phase (Ransome, Sadiku & Verma, 1976).…”

Summary. The adrenergic activity of the domestic hen was investigated. Administration of noradrenaline to laying hens at dose levels of 3\m=.\5,7\m=.\0and 14\m=.\0 pg/kg produced an increase in the magnal pressure, and a simultaneous decrease in the uterine pressure. Similar doses given to ovariectomized hens caused an inhibition of activity in both segments. Strips of tissues from the vagina and the uterovaginal junction of laying hens were exposed in vitro to noradrenaline at concentrations of 1\m=.\5\ m=x\10\p=n-\6and 2\ m=. \ 9\m=x\10\p=n-\6 M. The vaginal strips reacted with a sharp increase in tension, while the uterovaginal preparations showed a more gradual and prolonged response. It is suggested that the beta inhibitory activity of the uterus and the alpha excitatory activity of the rest of the oviduct are involved in the regulation of ovum transport.

“…This concentration then gradually decreased up to the uterus. In a previous study, Bodkhe and Harper (1972) revealed that the NA concentration in the distal isthmus near the ampulla was much higher than in the proximal isthmus near the uterus.…”

Summary. This paper compares noradrenaline content in the different parts of the oviduct in rabbits receiving or not a dose of estradiol-170 24 h before human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and killed 60 h post HCG. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine assays were carried out in the oviduct after aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase was inhibited by mhydroxybenzylhydrazine (NSD 1015) in the same experimental conditions. Pauerstein et al. (1974) have shown that an intramuscular injection of 250 pg of estradiol-17R in rabbits 24 h before intravenous injection of 100 IU of HCG delays ovum transport at the ampullary-isthmic junction. The extent of this noradrenergic innervation suggested that estradiol could act at least partially through the noradrenergic systems.Our results show that estradiol-17Q increased oviduct weight by water retention without modifying either the tyrosine hydroxylase activity or the noradrenaline content in any part of the oviduct and that, consequently, the estrogen-induced « tube locking » of ova was not mediated through the noradrenergic processes.Introduction.
