The goal of this work was to determine the role of bovine growth hormone (bGH) in the regulation of secretory functions in bovine oviduct. The influence of bGH on IGF-I production, and the effects of bGH or IGF-I on cyclic AMP and prostaglandin F-2 alpha (PGF) release by oviductal epithelium cell culture were studied. It was observed that GH significantly (P less than 0.05) increased IGF-I secretion. Moreover, both GH and IGF-I significantly stimulated cAMP, but inhibited PGF production by oviductal cells. These data demonstrate that oviductal cells can produce PGF, cAMP and IGF-I, and confirm the role of GH/IGF-I system in the regulation of oviductal secretion
