This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Contraception provides significant preventative health benefits by reducing unintended pregnancy, abortions, and unwanted births. As side effects, access, and cultural or moral objections limit the universal acceptance of current methods, research into novel contraceptives is warranted. The purpose of this grant is to explore the hypotheses that selective expression of phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoforms exists in the primate ovary, that selective blockade of PDE3 can be exploited to prevent spontaneous and gonadotropin-induced oocyte maturation, and that chronic treatment with a PDE3 inhibitor can prevent pregnancy in primates without affecting menstrual cyclicity or luteal function. The Specific Aims are to (1) describe the basic biology of PDE expression in the primate ovary; (2) to determine if PDE3 inhibitors prevent oocyte maturation, but not ovulation and function of the corpus luteum in rhesus monkeys undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols or during natural cycles in vivo; and (3) to determine whether PDE3 inhibitors function as contraceptive agents in regularly cycling rhesus monkeys in paired mating situations.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 避孕通过减少意外怀孕、堕胎和意外生育提供了显著的预防性健康益处。由于副作用、获取途径以及文化或道德上的反对限制了对当前方法的普遍接受，因此有必要对新型避孕药进行研究。本研究的目的是探索以下假设：灵长类动物卵巢中存在磷酸二酯酶（PDE）亚型的选择性表达，可以利用PDE 3的选择性阻断来防止自发性和促性腺激素诱导的卵母细胞成熟，以及PDE 3抑制剂的长期治疗可以防止灵长类动物妊娠而不影响月经周期或黄体功能。 具体目的是（1）描述灵长类动物卵巢中PDE表达的基本生物学;（2）确定PDE 3抑制剂是否阻止卵母细胞成熟，但不阻止接受控制性卵巢刺激（COS）方案或体内自然周期的恒河猴的排卵和黄体功能;以及（3）确定在配对交配的情况下，PDE 3抑制剂是否在定期循环的恒河猴中起避孕剂的作用。
