摘要
Available high-affinity binding sites for 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were measured in cytosols obtained from the amygdala, hypothalamus, anterior pituitary gland and ventral prostate gland of 12-week-old rats at various times after orchidectomy, and in the corresponding tissues of 18-month-old male rats. It is suggested that the lower affinity of the DHT bindig reaction in brain and ventral prostatic cytosols after orchidectomy or ageing respectively, may explain, at least in part, the changes in the responsiveness of the tissues to androgens.
