- W2000293858 abstract "The action of testosterone (T) on the sex accessory organs, such as ventral prostate (VP) and seminal vesicles (SV) is amplified by its 5α-reduction to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This does not happen in the case of muscle (levator ani, LA) which contains little or no 5α-reductase activity. It has been suggested that the regulation of gonadotropins by T may also be mediated by its 5α-reduced metabolites. We investigated this question by utilizing two types of androgens: (1) T and 17α-methyl-testosterone (17MT), whose potency increases following 5α-reduction; and (2) 19-nortestosterone (NT) and 17α-methyl-19-nortestosterone (17MNT) whose potency decreases following 5α-reduction. Castrated rats were used to investigate the ability of these androgens to stimulate VP, and SV (androgenic action) and LA growth (anabolic action) and to suppress the post-castration rise in LH levels. In addition, modification of these actions by a 5α-reductase inhibitor (5α-RI) was studied. Compared to T, NT was approximately 5 times less potent in stimulating VP and SV. By contrast, it was twice as potent as T in stimulating LA growth. Similarly, 17MNT was 5 times less androgenic but twice as anabolic as 17MT. The antigonadotropic potency of both the 19-nor compounds was 2–3 times greater than that of their respective 19-methylated parent compounds. The similarity in their anabolic and antigonadotropic potency suggested that 5α-reduction is not a factor in their antigoanabolic and antigonadotropic potency suggested that 5α-reduction is not a factor in their antigonadotropic action. This was confirmed by the use of the 5α-RI. Treatment of rats receiving the androgens with 5α-RI showed that it decreases the androgenic activity of T and 17MT while it increases the androgenic activity of NT and 17 MNT. In all cases the anabolic activity and the antigonadotropic potency remained unchanged. It is concluded that the regulation of pituitary gonadotropin secretion by T does not depend upon its 5α-reduction to DHT." @default.
