A quantitative test for oestrogenic activity using rat endometrium lactate dehydrogenase

M Jelínková, J Jelínek, J de Visser

    Acta Endocrinologica
    |March 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Endometrial lactate dehydrogenase per DNA (LDH/DNA) in ovariectomized rats increased with ethinyloestradiol (EOe) treatment. This endometrial LDH/DNA increase serves as a reliable quantitative assay for estrogenic potency.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Pharmacology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Estrogenic compounds are vital for reproductive health.
    • Accurate assays are needed to quantify estrogenic potency.
    • Ethinyloestradiol (EOe) is a synthetic estrogen used in studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate endometrial lactate dehydrogenase per DNA (LDH/DNA) as a quantitative measure of estrogenic potency.
    • To compare the efficacy of different estrogenic steroids using this assay.
    • To validate the endometrial LDH/DNA assay against established methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Ovariectomized rats were treated with ethinyloestradiol (EOe) and other steroids.
    • Endometrial LDH/DNA levels were measured as an indicator of estrogenic activity.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Results were compared with vaginal cornification and uterine growth assays.

    • Main Results:

    • Ethinyloestradiol (EOe) treatment significantly increased endometrial LDH/DNA levels.
    • Relative estrogenic potencies of tested steroids varied, with some showing high potency.
    • Endometrial LDH/DNA assay results correlated better with vaginal cornification than uterine growth assays.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased endometrial LDH/DNA in ovariectomized rats is a valid quantitative assay for estrogenic potency.
    • This assay provides a reliable method for comparing estrogenic compounds.
    • The endometrial LDH/DNA assay shows good agreement with established estrogenicity tests.
