title: Stimulation by oestradiol of soluble-protein synthesis in rat hypothalamus.
abstract: The effect of oestradiol treatment on protein synthesis in the cytosol fraction (10(5) g supernatant) from ovariectomized mature and developing female rat hypothalami were studied. Results obtained on adults by double-label technique and SDS polyacrylamide gel or cellogel electrophoresis show that, as in the uterus, oestradiol-induced protein synthesis (IP) occurred in the cytosol fraction of the hypothalamus. The molecular weight of IP was about 40 000 dalton. During postnatal development, IP was also observed in cytosol fractions from the hypothalami of female rats 14, 21 and 28 days old. No clear-cut effect of oestradiol was found in the 7-day-old animals.
