Reappearance of HCG-receptors in immature rat ovary after HCG-treatment is not due to receptor synthesis.
In 24-day-old rats the reappearance of ovarian HCG-receptors after the injection of 200 IU HCG in independent of protein synthesis. The reutilization of occupied receptors in immature female rats is due to dissociation of the receptor-hormone complex.
