[Dynamics of the changes in the content of testosterone and estradiol receptors in the hypothalamus of male rats in the course of sexual development].
The content of receptors to testosterone and estradiol in hypothalamus of the male rats was studied during their sexual maturation (7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days). In all the age groups of animals the concentration of receptors to testosterone in the cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of hypothalamus was at a relatively constant level, except in 7 day old males in which the minimal concentration of cytoplasmic and the maximal concentration of nuclear receptors were noted. The highest values of estradiol-binding sites in cytosol of hypothalamus were observed on the 7th and 14th days and in the nuclear fraction on the 28th, 35th and 42nd days of life. The binding of both the hormones with their receptors is a specific process characterized by a high affinity. A suggestion is put forward that receptors both to androgens and estrogens take part in the brain sexual differentiation.
