Pituitary gonadotropin content in gonadectomized rats. Immunoassay measurements influenced by extraction solvent and testosterone replacement.
Increasing interest in events regulating gonadotropin synthesis and secretion led to the reexamination, by radioimmunoassay (RIA), of the pituitary content of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). In a preliminary experiment, the importance of the composition of the solvent used to homogenize pituitaries on the detection of LH and FSH was demonstrated by RIA. Experime...
متن کاملRegulation of pituitary gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors by pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone injections in male rats. Modulation by testosterone.
The pattern of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulus is critically important in the regulation of pituitary gonadotropin secretion and continuous infusions down-regulate secretion while intermittent pulses maintain luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) responsiveness. We examined the effects of pulsatile GnRH administration on pituitary GnRH receptors (GnR...
متن کاملThe effects of testosterone and naloxone treatments on fear behavior in gonadectomized rats
Introduction: Effective perception of fear signals is crucial for organism survival. When threated, the organism indicates defensive behaviors. Methods: Elevated plus–maze has high efficiency for measurement of fear behavior and is widly used for fear behavior determination. Increase in two parameters percent of openarm entries (%OAE) and percent of time spent in the open-arm (%OAT) in the ...
متن کاملTestosterone-dependent variations in plasma and intrapituitary corticosteroid binding globulin and stress hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activity in the male rat.
Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity is governed by glucocorticoid negative feedback and the magnitude of this signal is determined, in part, by variations in plasma corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) capacity. Here, in gonadectomized male rats we examine the extent to which different testosterone replacement levels impact on CBG and HPA function. Compared with gonadectomized rats w...
متن کاملCholesterol metabolism in gonadectomized rats.
In studies in which tissue concentrations of cholesterol and total lipids were determined in male and female rats fed a control diet containing fat, the effects of gonadeetomy were much smaller than in animals fed a fat-free diet in which gonadeetomy tended to reverse the sex differences observed in these lipid values. Other phases of lipid metabolism were shown to be sex-linked as well. Gonade...
