          Abstract

          La globulina unidora de corticoides (CBG) presente en el plasma, tiene la capacidad de unir de forma reversible hormonas esteroidales (cortisol, corticosterona y progesterona). Esta molécula, juega un rol directo en el transporte de esteroides, alterando su concentración en la sangre, e influenciando en su acción hormonal. Se sintetiza principalmente en el hígado, pero también se ha observado en otros órganos, tales como: riñón, hipófisis, próstata, endometrio y placenta. El objetivo del estudio, fue rastrear a través de inmunocitoquímica (ICQ), la probable presencia de CBG en el estroma ovárico de vacas, perras, gatas y ratas, como aproximación morfológica a la dilucidación del rol que podría cumplir esta molécula en el sistema reproductor de mamíferos. Las muestras de ovarios fueron fijadas en methacarn e incluidas en paraplast. A cortes seriados se les realizó la ICQ por el método del PAP. El anticuerpo específico fue policlonal anti CBG humana. Los resultados revelaron selectivamente células intensamente inmunopositivas a CBG en Cummulus oophorus y células de la granulosa y, además, en ciertos tipos celulares distribuidos en el estroma ovárico de todas las especies mamíferas estudiadas. Estas células se encontraron en íntima asociación a vasos sanguíneos de alto intercambio, presentando variaciones en la densidad celular, que dependieron de los cambios ováricos cíclicos. Este hecho revela, que la CBG, podría jugar un rol directo en los procesos reproductivos relacionados con el transporte de hormonas esteroidales en el sistema reproductor de estos mamíferos.

          The plasma corticoid binding globulin (CBG), has the capability to irreversible fixes steroid hormones (cortisone, corticosterone and progesterone). This molecule, acts directly on the steroid transports, changing their blood concentration and influencing the hormonal action. The synthesis occurs mainly in the liver, but also in other organs and tissues such as the kidney, pituitary, prostate, endometrium and placenta. The objective of this study was to trace the presence of CBG on the ovarian stroma of the cow, bitch, cat and rat under a morphological point of view using an inmunocytochemical (ICQ) method. The ovarian samples were fixed in methacarn and embedding in paraplast. Serial cuts were performed to each sample and the ICQ was done using the PAP method and an specific polyclonal CBG human antibody was used. The results showed a selective immune positive reaction to CBG on the cummulus oophorus and granulosa cells. In addition, some other types of cells found in the ovarian stroma in all the species studied showed a similar reaction. The immune reaction and the cell density varied according the state of the ovarian cycle. These cells were found in close contact with the blood vessels where a high interchange occurs. In conclusion, these results show that the CBG could be directly involved in the reproductive process related to the steroidal hormonal transports in the female reproductive system of these mammalian species

              The free hormone hypothesis: a physiologically based mathematical model.

              C M Mendel (1989)
              The free hormone hypothesis states that the biological activity of a given hormone is affected by its unbound (free) rather than protein-bound concentration in the plasma. The fundamental mathematical and physiological principles relating to this hypothesis are reviewed, along with experimental data that shed light on its validity. It is shown that whether or not this hypothesis is likely to be valid for any given hormone will depend largely on which step in the tissue uptake process (plasma flow, dissociation from plasma binding proteins, influx, or intracellular elimination) is rate-limiting to the net tissue uptake of that hormone. It is further shown that the free hormone hypothesis could hold even if tissue uptake of hormone occurred by a mechanism that acted directly on one or more circulating protein-bound pools of hormone. Indeed, many of the data previously interpreted as being inconsistent with the free hormone hypothesis are in fact readily consistent with it when its predictions are fully understood. Nevertheless, the free hormone hypothesis is not likely to be valid for all hormones with respect to all tissues. It is likely to be valid with respect to all tissues for the thyroid hormones, for cortisol, and for the hydroxylated metabolites of vitamin D. For many of the other steroid hormones, however, it is likely to be valid with respect to some tissues, but not with respect to others (in particular, the liver). And for some of the steroid hormones (in particular, progesterone) it may not hold at all.
