Abstract

The interaction of estrogen and androgen was studied at the estrogen receptor level of adult rat uterus by the in vivo experiment. Both the free and total estrogen receptor in the cytosol and nucleus were assayed by the controlled pore glass beads method [2]. Testosterone was given by daily injection for 5 days to the rats treated with estradiol dipropionate (long-acting estradiol) 3 or 5 days before. In the estradiol dipropionate-treated rats the plasma estradiol concentration remained at an extremely high level for 7 days and then decreased to 5-fold of that of proestrus control by the 14th day. There was no significant change in the uterine estrogen receptor of the adult rat with a high estradiol concentration induced by testosterone.
