Abstract

Protein synthesis in cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and pituitary of immature female rats was studied after treatment with 5 doses of LH-RH, gonadotrophins or sex hormones.None of the hormonal doses affected protein synthesis in cortex.Sex hormones and gonadotrophins increased protein synthesis in hypothalamus.These effects are attributed to positive feed-backs of these hormone on immature female rat hypothalamus.All treatments increased protein synthesis in pituitary.The direct effect of LH-RH on pituitary and the feed-back effect of sex hormones or gonadotrophins are compared and discussed.
