Plasma concentrations of arginine vasotocin, prolactin, aldosterone and corticosterone in relation to oviposition and dietary NaNl in the domestic fowl

Arginine vasotocin receptor binding in the hen uterus (shell gland) before and after oviposition

“…At the time of oviposition, the serum level of AVT was increased dramatically (Table 3), as reported earlier (12,(22)(23)(24). A single intravenous injection of AVT into the hen caused a decrease in Kd and Bmax of the AVT receptor of the uterus within 2 or 5 min after the injection (Fig.…”

Effect of Estradiol-17β and Progesterone on Arginine Vasotocin in Nonlaying Hens

“…The serum concentration of AVT was higher in laying than in nonlaying hens. In laying hens, plasma AVT has been reported to show a remarkable increase only at the time of oviposition (Sturkie and Lin, 1966;Tanaka et al, 1984;Rice et al, 1985;Shimada et al, 1986). The present authors have found that the serum AVT concentration of nonlaying hens does not show any appreciable change during a 24-h day (Takahashi et al, unpublished data).…”

Changes in prostaglandin F2α receptor bindings in the hen oviduct uterus before and after oviposition

“…The blood PGF 2α may be capable of binding to the uterine PGF 2α receptor at the time of oviposition because the concentration was higher than the K d value (approximately 0.7 nM) of the uterine PGF 2α receptor found in the present study. The blood concentration of AVT is dramatically increased at the time of oviposition (Sturkie and Lin, 1966;Tanaka et al, 1984;Rice et al, 1985;Shimada et al, 1986;Takahashi et al, 1994;Takahashi and Kawashima, 2008a) by releasing AVT from the neurohypophysis Nakajo, 1960, 1962). Arginine vasotocin stimulates PGF 2α production in the uterine tissue (Takahashi et al, 2004).…”
