An ovarian in vitro perfusion method was adapted to examine rabbit corpus luteum (CL) function during pseudopregnancy. Ovaries were perfused in vitro with tissue culture Medium 199 with or without 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Samples were obtained from both arterial and venous cannulae, allowing rates of progesterone secretion to be determined. Two perfusion methods were compared: a closed system in which perfusion medium continuously recirculated through the tissue, and an open system in which the ovarian vein cannula was left outside the perfusion chamber. The addition of 3% BSA was found to prevent edema and distortion of the interstitial space, and to result in increased progesterone secretion. With the closed perfusion system, the progesterone secretion rate measured over the 6-h perfusion was significantly higher on Day 11 than on Day 1 of pseudopregnancy and had declined significantly on Day 18. There was no difference in secretion rates whether the perfusion system was open or closed, and the results obtained with both systems closely approximated in vivo progesterone secretion rates. Measurements of CL tissue progesterone content before and after in vitro perfusion indicated that the changes in progesterone secretion seen during pseudopregnancy resulted from differences in the synthesis and secretion of progesterone and not from leakage of progesterone already present in the CL prior to perfusion. Taken together, these results indicate that the modified in vitro perfused rabbit ovary preparation described herein is an appropriate model to examine progesterone secretion by ovaries bearing CL.
