摘要
The effects of testosterone and of dihydrotestosteron on nucleic acid synthesis by isolated prostatic nuclei from castrate rats were compared. The incorporation of cytidine into acid-insoluble material was enhanced by dihydrotestosterone but not by testosterone. Orotic acid was not incorporated into the acid-insoluble material as readily as cytidine and no hormonal effects were observed. Dihydrotestosterone inhibited the incorporation of inorganic phosphate into ATP whereas testosterone showed little inhibition. These experiments demonstrate a direct effect of androgens on isolated nuclei and support the suggestion that dihydrotestosterone rather than testosterone is the active hormone species in prostatic nuclei. © 1969.
