Abstract
The activity of delta 5-3 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (delta 5-3 beta HSD) in pre-implantation mouse embryos was inhibited following their prior incubation with partially purified sheep ovarian follicular fluid peptide (OFFP). OFFP, 5 microliter, injected into the uterine lumen of day 4 pregnant mice impaired the ensuing implantation of embryos. Our observations suggest that OFFP may inhibit steroid metabolizing activity in pre-implantation embryos and thereby interfere with the process of implantation.
