title: [Changes in blood levels of progesterone, triiodothyronine and thyroxine and the results of quantitative histological analysis of the placentoma and corpus luteum in cows after prolonged labor].
abstract: Changes in the cell structure of the placentoma and the corpus luteum were subjected to quantitative histological investigation, parallel with the examination of the concentrations of progesterone (P4), triiodotyronine (T3) and tyroxin (T4) during parturition (Oth hour) and two and six hours after parturition. The hormone concentrations were determined by the RIA method. The results of the quantitative histological analysis of the placentomae and the corpus luteum suggest that when the placenta is retained there is a significantly higher number of maintained epithelial cells in the placentoma crypts and a higher number of unchanged small, dark and large, light lutein serraetion cells in the biopsy of the corpus luteum during the period under investigation. The morphological finding significantly correlates with higher concentrations of P4 in the blood of the cows with retained placenta, as compared with those whose placenta was not retained. It can be derived from the pattern of changes in T3 and T4 concentrations, compared with P4 and with the histological finding, that there is a functional relationship between the placentoma, corpus luteum, and the thyroid gland.
