title: [Effects of estradiol on synthesis of corticosteroids, protein kinase A and C activity in the adrenal cortex of intact and orchiectomized rats].
abstract: Estradiol treatment produced significant increase of total 11-hydroxycorticosteroids level in the blood of intact and castrated rats. Activity of protein kinase A increased in the cytosol and membrane fraction of adrenocorticocytes of intact and orchiectomized rats after estradiol influence. Activity of protein kinase C significantly raised in the cytosol and membrane fraction of adrenocortical cells in all investigated groups. Our results suggest that cAMP-dependent protein kinase A and protein kinase C mediate estradiol effects in adrenal cortex.
