Abstract
Cultures of endothelial cells (ECs) derived from bovine CL expressed NK-1R and NK-3R mRNA, as did ovarian macrophages. Agonist treatment induced a stronger intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) increase after activation of NK-1R compared to NK-3R, a result that we verified by calcium imaging. This is the first evidence for functional tachykinin receptor activity in luteal ECs and ovarian macrophages from bovine CL.
