Abstract
Adrenaline (10(-6)-10(-4) M), serotonin (10(-6)-10(-4) M), and several other potential steroidogenic agonists failed to enhance either basal or LH-stimulated progesterone production from dispersed caprine lutea l cells from Day 10 of the estrous cycle. The caprine corpus luteum (C L) would appear to be more refractory to exogenous stimulation than ei ther the ovine or bovine CL.
