17
Q

site of production and action of progesterone

A

luteal cells of CL; maintains pregnancy

18
Q

site of production for inhibin (folliculostatin) and actions

A

granulosa cells of follicle, found in follicular fluid; suppresses release of FSH

19
Q

site of production for relaxin and actions

A

luteal cells of CL during pregnancy (also placenta and uterus); relaxes body during pregnancy

20
Q

hormones from testis

A

androgens (testosterone), ABP, and inhbin

21
Q

site of production and action of testosterone

A

Leydig cells of testis (stimulated by LH); spermatocytogenesis and male sexual behavior

22
Q

site of production and action of inhibin

A

Sertoli cells of testis, suppressed FSH

23
Q

site of production and action of ABP

A

sertoli cells; binds androgens to maintain high conc. for spermatogenesis

24
Q

Hormones from placenta

A

estrogens, progestins, relaxin, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG or eCG), placental lactogen, and interferon

25
Q

site of production and action for hCG

A

syncytiotrophoblastic cells of trophoblast; converts CL of menstrual cycle to CL of pregnancy

26
Q

site of production and action of PMSG/ eCG

A

endometrial cells of mares placenta ( get from the separation of serum); formation of accessory and primary CL during pregnancy, FSH-like in domestic animals other than the mare, stimulates excessive follicular development in domestic animals other than mare

27
Q

site of production and action of placental lactogen

A

placenta; developes mammary gland for milk production, regulation of maternal nutrients to fetus, regulation of fetal growth

28
Q

where is placental lactogen highest

A

last trimester of pregnancy (higher in dairy cattle)

29
Q

What is interferon also known as

A

OTP and bTP

30
Q

site of production and action of interferon

A

placenta of bovine and ovine; role in maternal recognition

31
Q

hormones from uterus

A

relaxin, prostaglandin (PGF2a and PGe2)

32
Q

precursor to PGF2a

A

arachidonic acid

33
Q

site of production and action of PGF2a

A

endometrial cells of the uterus and vesicular glands in male; regression of CL, constriction of blood vessels, smooth muscle contraction for sperm and ovum transport, stimulates gonadotropin release

34
Q

uses of PGF2a

A

synchronization of estrus and ovulation in cows and mares, the luteolytic effect of CL, abortion in feedlot cattle

35
Q

precursor to PGE2

A

arachidonic acid

36
Q

what kind of hormone if PGE2

A

lipid

37
Q

Hormones from adrenal cortex

A

Glucocorticoids (cortisol)

38
Q

site of production and action of cortisol

A

adrenal cortex; initiation of parturition, synergizes with prolactin to initiate milk synthesis, reduces inflammation

39
Q

what is compudose used for

A

increase anabolic effect

40
Q

what is trenbolone acetate “revalor” used for

A

increase weight gain and feed efficiency

41
Q

what is melengestrol a compound of

A

progestin
