Ovine placental lactogen (oPL), growth hormone (oGH), prolactin (oPRL) and human placental lactogen (hPL) were administered intracisternally (ic) or intraperitoneally (ip) to 17 day old rats and brain and liver ODC activities determined four hours later. When given ic, oPL, oGH and oPRL caused significant increases in brain ODC activity, while hPL had no significant effect. After ip administration, oPL and oGH also caused a significant increase in brain as well as liver ODC activity but oPRL and hPL were without significant effect. The stimulation of polyamine metabolism by oPL together with earlier reports of its potent somatotropic effects and its high concentration in the fetus supports the hypothesis that oPL may be important in the regulation of fetal growth.
