We determined cytosolic phospholipase A2 activity of the corpus luteum during luteolysis in pregnant and post-partum rats. Phospholipase A2 activity and its metabolite prostaglandin F2alpha in the corpus luteum remarkably increased just before parturition and further rose transiently during post-partum structural luteolysis. The absence of a pups' suckling stimulus delayed corpus luteum involution, being associated with an altered fluctuation in phospholipase A2 activity and depressed prostaglandin F2alpha levels. Exogenous prolactin had a reversal effect. Pharmacological and immunochemical characterization suggests multiple isoforms of phospholipase A2 in a pregnant corpus luteum. These results show the increased phospholipase A2 activity and its possible implication in luteolysis in pregnant rats.
