文摘The effect of gonadal hormones on brain tubulin synthesis has been studied in the castrated middle-aged male mouse and testes intact oldaged male mouse.Estrogen exerts potent influences on stimulating tubulin synthesis.Treatment with estradiol benzoate or estradiol benzoate and hydroxyprogesterone caproate increase the amount of tubulin by almost 37%-43%.Administration of testosterone propionate can produce a 13%-23% increase.Both estrogen and androgen can stimulate tubulin synthesis after the critical period of brain development but, estrogen plays a stronger role than androgen in stimulating tubulin synthesis in male mouse.
