A model for the study of atresia in antral follicles is described. Follicular development and atresia was induced in hypophysectomized hamsters using pregnant mares serum (PMS) followed by rabbit-anti-PMS(PMS-As). Adult hamsters were hypophysectomized on Day 1 (metestrus); following surgery each animal received 30 IU of PMS(sc). PMS-As (100 il, undiluted) was administered ip on Day 4.Serum E2 underwent the greatest increase between Days 2 and 3, reaching a maximal concentration of 1030±164 (mean±SEM) pg/mi at 0900 h on Day 4. There was no change in E, concentration(in the absence of PMS-As) on Day 5. Serum P concentration fell from 6.1±1.5 ng/ml on Day 3 to 1.7±0.3 ng/ml on Day 4, indicating luteal regression. Gonadotropin support of follicles was maximal through Day 4, as determined by radioimmunoassay of serum PMS. Between Days 4 and 5 the serum concentration of PMS dropped by 50%. One hour following treatment with PMS-As, serum estradiol fell to 461±80 pg/mI. By 2 h the concentration was 150±6 pg/mI; by 8 h, 45±2 pg/mI; and by 24 h the hormonewas undetectable. Serum progesterone had dropped by Day 4 and did not change significantly over the 24 h interval following PMS-As. Pyknosis of granulosa cell nuclei was first observed 4 h following PMS-As treatment. Granulosa cell degeneration began in the cumulus oophorus and then spread to the peripheral cells. By 24 h the nuclear envelope of the oocyte disappeared and the chromatin was seen in various stages of meiotic division; however, no polar bodies were observed.
