title: Effect of estradiol on aminoacid incorporation into proteins of different hypothalamic areas in prepuberal rats.
abstract: Estradiol in vitro produces a significant increase in the incorporation of 3H-leucine into proteins of the anterior hypothalamic area in prepuberal female rats, 15 and 20 days old, but not in younger animals. The ovarian hormone induced no changes in the protein synthetic activity of middle and posterior hypothalamus and cerebral cortex in prepuberal female rats of different ages. Estradiol did not modify the protein synthesis of the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex in prepuberal male rats.
