متن کاملA possible role for endogenous glucocorticoids in orchiectomy-induced atrophy of the rat levator ani muscle: studies with RU 38486, a potent and selective antiglucocorticoid.
We employed RU 38486, a potent and selective antiglucocorticoid, to study a possible role for endogenous glucocorticoids in atrophy of the levator ani muscle secondary to castration of male rats. RU 38486 was shown to block [3H]triamcinolone acetonide binding to cytosol from levator ani muscle. Daily oral administration of RU 38486 to castrated rats partially prevented atrophy of the levator an...
