Stimulatory effect of dihydrotestosterone on the acetylcholinesterase activity of rat adenohypophysis.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the adenohypophysis of adult orchidectomized rats, and of orchidectomized rats treated with 100 microgram/100 g b.w. of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), was determined by a spectrophotometric method. Our result shows a significant increase in AChE activity of the adenohypophysis of orchidectomized rats treated with DHT.
