title: [Effects of radiation-ecological conditions and experimental hyperthyroid states on indicators of testis and prostate androgen receptors in rats].
abstract: Dose-dependent changes of the molecular characteristics on androgen receptor (AR) systems in gonads of male rats were studied at experimental L-thyroxine-induced states after low doses irradiation exposures in different reference points of 10-km Chernobyl zone. The data obtained suggest a generalized working mechanism of "oscillatorous changes" for contents, affinities and cooperative properties of AR to its natural ligands as a "mirror" reflecting some adaptational reactions in target cells that modulates their androgen-controlled biochemical activity.
