When fetuses and placentas were removed on Day 18 in normal pregnant rabbits, plasma progesterone levels declined rapidly to non-pregnant values within 48 h. This decline was largely prevented if only fetectomy was performed, leaving the placentas in situ, but not when the fetal components of the placentas were also removed. These results suggested that ovarian progesterone production was dependent upon trophic influences emanating from the fetal portions of the placentas. Ovarian progesterone production was maintained by an extract of rabbit pituitaries for at least 72 h after removal of fetuses and placentas.
