The characteristics of the melatonin secretory rhythm are not modified by the stage of pregnancy in ewes

An experiment was designed to study if, in the same animals, characteristics of the plasma melatonin rhythm vary during pregnancy in ewes. Thirteen Ile-de-France ewes were maintained in natural photoperiod and measurements of the characteristics of the rhythm of melatonin secretion were determined d...

Thirteen Ile-de-France ewes were maintained in natural photoperiod and measurements of the characteristics of the rhythm of melatonin secretion were determined during one estrous cycle and then during pregnancy. Duration and mean plasma concentrations of the nocturnal melatonin elevation were measured at four stages of pregnancy. Melatonin concentrations during the elevation were not significantly affected by the stage of the estrous cycle (mean ± SEM: 227.8 ± 34.9, 263.2 ± 24.2 and 232.4 ± 27.1 pg/mL for follicular phase, early luteal phase and late luteal phase, respectively), or by the stage of pregnancy (292.8 ± 22.2, 268.7 ± 21.7, 267.4 ± 27.9 and 258.3 ± 23.5 pg/mL for first, second, third and fourth month of pregnancy, respectively). A strong individual effect was detected (P < 0.01) for melatonin concentrations during elevation (range: 119.2 ± 11.8 to 396.6 ± 26.0 pg/mL of plasma). A highly significant correlation coefficient was observed within individuals for night melatonin concentrations between the different physiological stages. It was concluded that melatonin secretion is unaffected by the stage of pregnancy.Les caractéristiques du rythme de sécrétion de la mélatonine ont été étudiées pendant la gestation en répétant les mesures sur les mêmes animaux. Treize brebis, soumises à une photopériode naturelle, ont été utilisées et les caractéristiques du rythme de sécrétion de la mélatonine ont été mesurées pendant un cycle oestrien et pendant la gestation. La durée de sécrétion et les concentrations moyennes de mélatonine pendant l’élévation nocturne ont été étudiées à quatre moments différents de la gestation. Les concentrations nocturnes de mélatonine ne sont pas différentes entre les trois stades du cycle étudiés (moyenne ± SEM ; 277,8 ± 34,9 ; 263,2 ± 24,2 et 232,4 ± 27,1 pg/mL pour la phase folliculaire, le début et la fin de la phase lutéale, respectivement), ou les quatre stades de gestation étudiés (292,8 ± 22,2 ; 268,7 ± 21,7 ; 267,4 ± 27,9 et 258,3 ± 23,5 pg/mL pour le premier, deuxième, troisième et quatrième mois de gestation, respectivement). Une variabilité interindividuelle très importante a été observée (p < 0,01) pour les concentrations de mélatonine pendant la nuit (écart de 119,2 ± 11,8 à 396,6 ± 26,0 pg/mL de plasma). Un coefficient de corrélation très élevé intra-individus a été observé pour les concentrations de mélatonine entre les différents états physiologiques. Cette étude indique que la sécrétion de mélatonine n’est pas modifiée par la gestation.Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA)19961996-01-0119961996-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10272/6389reponame:Arias Montano.
