| pubmed-article:2919830 | pubmed:abstractText | Serum concentrations of relaxin and progesterone were measured by specific radioimmunoassays in pregnant, pseudopregnant, or ovariectomized (between gestation weeks 4 and 5) pregnant Labrador Retriever bitches. Daily administration of 17 alpha-ethyl-19-nortestosterone was performed to maintain gestation in the ovariectomized pregnant bitches. This synthetic gestagen was selected because it did not interfere with the assay for endogenously secreted progesterone concentration in serum. Serum progesterone concentration was high in ovarian-intact pregnant or pseudopregnant bitches, but the mean progesterone concentration in pseudopregnant bitches (evaluated at 4 weeks after mating) was only 56% of the concentration in pregnant bitches. After ovariectomy, serum progesterone concentration decreased to undetectable values. Unlike progesterone, serum relaxin concentration increased during the latter half of pregnancy in the ovarian-intact and in the ovariectomized pregnant bitches, but relaxin was not detectable at any time in the pseudopregnant bitches. The amount of relaxin measured in the ovariectomized pregnant bitches was less (P less than 0.05) than that in ovarian-intact bitches, suggesting that the ovaries may have contributed to the total circulating relaxin concentration in the latter. Placental production of relaxin might have accounted for the serum relaxin concentration after ovariectomy; thus, the ovary and placenta each may secrete relaxin during gestation in bitches. Regardless of its source, measurement of serum relaxin concentration may offer a useful way of distinction between pregnancy and pseudopregnancy in dogs. | lld:pubmed |
