Scatchard plot analyses of [3 Hi-dihydroalprenolol binding to rat ovarian membranes revealed that the rat ovary contains a single class of specific, high affinity p-adrenergic receptors which vary significantly during the estrous cycle. Receptor concentrations are highest during proestrus, fall to 50% of proestrus levels in the morning of estrus(P< 0.001), then increase to nar proestrus levels during metestrus and diestrus. There is no change in receptor affinity during the estrous cycle (KD= 2.2±0.1 X i0 M). These results indicate that ovarian function may be influenced directly by catecholamines of either a neural or adrenal origin.
