The actions of epinephrine on luteal cell function, and the effects of gonadotropin-induced luteal desensitization upon β-adrenergic responses, were examined in the luteinized rat ovary. Both epinephrine and LH stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in ovarian homogenates and increased the production of cAMP and progesterone in luteal cells. Maximally effective doses of the two hormones did not have an additive effect upon adenylate cyclase activity or steroidogenesis. The actions of epinephrine on adenylate cyclase and progesterone production were inhibited by propranolol but not by phentolamine, and neither adrenergic antagonist influenced the actions of LH. These results indicate that LH and β-adrenergic effectors act through independent receptors on a common pool of adenylate cyclase to stimulate progesterone production in the luteal cell. In ovaries from rats treated with desensitizing doses of hCG, the decreased ability of LH/hCG to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity was accompanied by a transient ...
